I try to understand why Trump lost the 2020 election and won the 2024.
My reading is that people vote with a punishment mindset. Aka the only way to punish Trump for his horrible term was to vote for Biden. And the only way to punish Biden for his bad financially term was to vote for Trump.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoWhoever is in charge gets the heat for any problems. He happened to be at the wheel, when COVID hit, and that did all kinds of damage. His handling of it was clumsy. Biden was at the wheel when we had high inflation (because we fixed the COVID slump with free money). I think the dems did a shitty job with our borders, and that hit him. Check back in 2026, to see what people think.
