But that's been true forever. It's the changes since last time that are the big news here. Trump outperformed with every race/gender combo except white men. Who predicted that? He got the largest share of minority votes by a Republican since 1960, which was before the Civil Rights Act reshaped political demographics in the US.

Also, lost popular vote both in 2016 and 2020. Also, clearly lost electoral college in 2020. Despite being incumbent which is an advantage in America. While we are noting how successful he was, let's also note he lost. Any let's also note that his opponent Biden was quite successful.

  That's an overstatement. Biden barely won against a clown in the middle of a pandemic. I'm glad he did, but it's an anemic victory, American politics is realigning, and if people don't want to see that, the inevitable result will be another Trump, except probably a competent one next time.

    Trump is clown, but represents what a lot of people want. What you perceive as clown, they perceive as the right kind of masculine man. Yes, if women acted the same she would be called hysterical and emotional. But, these things are not fair and in his case it is interpreted as strength. Even sexist remarks and racist ones are seen as relatable, it is sort of stuff many people say in private. What you see as lies, they see as smart things to say. Beating incumbent is quite a lot. Also, based on what I read in conservative journal I read, Biden won in election where he was painted Marxist progressive litterally communist. And pedophile for some reason. His past costed him some black votes, but somehow he is still radical pro-rioting progressive sjw. It does not matter whether Trump is capable or clown. Truth did not matter. His narcissism is asset and advantage. Biden was not fighting just Trump, but the machine behind him. The media machine (alex jones, etc) invested in Trump and radical republican wing.

    You disagree with me and i disagree with you, but I still find it ridiculous that your comment was downvoted.
