I think a more reasonable reason is that much of the electorate was tired of woke politics. Unfortunately, Trump is just as bad, but in a more traditional sort of bad. (Fortunately, he is also obviously bad. Unfortunately, being obviously bad means we get things like this war.) I also think that many of the Trump voters were aware of his many failings, too, but Harris was more of the same while Trump was definitely anti-woke. I think if the Democrats had run someone traditionally centrist they would have won easily. I think that was why Biden won over Trump; he seemed more traditionally centrist.
