I think this election proved Donald Trump is not any more popular than he was four years ago. In 2020, Trump received 74 million votes. As I am typing this, he has about 72 million. This is less of a Trump victory and more of a devastating loss for Harris. She only received 68 million votes, while Biden took 80 million in 2020. Some votes went to alternative party candidates, but overall, the turnout for Harris was pathetic. I thought she ran a good campaign. I was wrong. She did not resonate with the millions who opted to sit on their couch instead of going to cast their ballot. What a shame we still have people in this country who choose not to vote (regardless of their political leanings).
The way you wrote that, I think you already know that the number you offered up for Trump's overall number of votes this time is incomplete. It's going to be larger. But to your overall point, I mostly agree, and it's why I said I think this is more about the failure of the Democrats than it is the success of the Republicans.
