2016 - Clinton had 65M in popular votes.

2020 - Biden had a record 81M in popular votes.

2024 - Harris had 67M in popular votes.

14M swing in voters. That's the size of NY, LA and CHI combined give or take.

I also keep seeing this narrative online in social media platforms.

Someone said the "Silent Majority" won Trump the election. I disagree.

I get where they're coming from. I just don't see it as a Silent Majority.

In 2016, Trump had 62.9M in popular votes and 304 in Electoral votes. In 2020, he had 74M in popular votes and last night he had 72M popular votes. Fairly consistent.

If you watched any of the unbiased media, or, social media videos of his rallies? You would see he has a "cult" following and MAGA has always been prominent.

I would say he's had a consistent majority since 2016, and, if anything, it's the inconsistencies on the left that have now cost them a win twice.

Clinton had 65M popular votes in 2016. Harris had 67M last night. Biden had a whopping 81M in 2020. I just find it funny and ironic when the left claims that Trump winning again spells sexist pigs in power and gives rise to white men being hateful towards women.

Yet, when the Democrats have presented two female candidates now over the last eight years? The turnout is lower than it was for Biden. It's almost as if it's the Democratic men failing to vote for the women they claim to champion for every election cycle.

So, again.

Either, 2020 was rigged, or, Democratic men hate women more than they claim Republican men do, or, it's both.

The numbers are remarkable but the simpler explanation is when you stop automatically mailing out absentee ballots applications, fewer people vote.  That hurts Dems more than Republicans.  But Trump in 2020 told his voters not to do mail in voting, and this time he said they can do it if they want.  And so Trump was able to maintain his numbers even with less turnout overall.
