    He still lost vote shared had just about the same vote share compared to the previous election. It’s just that dems didn’t show up as much. If his tariff plans go into effect, his support will almost certainly drop a fair amount more. A good chunk of people supported him because they thought he’d magically fix everything economically. Destroying the economy will turn people against him or at least not make them so actively support him

    Tens of millions did not vote for this. If they want to take away rights, make every one a fight. Every thing that they have to spend time on keeps them from moving on to the next thing

      He still lost vote shared compared to the previous election.

      How do you mean?

      2020 Results:

      Biden: 81,283,501 Trump: 74,223,975

      2024 Results (95% Reporting):

      Kamala: 70,383,093 Trump: 74,312,688

      Trump effectively had the same number of people voting for him - and obviously had a bigger share of those that bothered to vote.

        Ah I looked a bit earlier with less vote percentage reporting. Guess the outstanding vote was in more republican areas than I had thought. Regardless, the rest of my point still stands even if the vote share is about the same this election
