Because that would mean Trump picked up 7.8 million more voter from 2016.

shows me

1. Every racist that voted Trump in '16 went back in 2020. They brought their friends who didn't vote in '16 because they didn't believe a racist like Trump could get elected. Best guess-30-40 million votes.

2. Four years of Trump and Q'anon lies on FB and Twitter netted a significant number of new goobers. Maybe another 10 million brain dead votes.

3. The rest of Trump's votes probably flowed from those who vote GOP, no matter what.They can't properly define "socialism" but they live in fear of its aura every moment of the day.

Every Pres. election going forward, I think we need to marshall 80 million votes to retain our gains.

Adding up the number we can count in your events as being the 3% would be 2.1 million.

Every race and gender, color and creed has their share of assholes and wanna be assholes.

This election gave us some solid percentages and numbers to apply to that sentiment though!
