historically only 62-64% of the registered voters vote ina presidential election - magically that number went to almost 94% in 2020 but reverted to the norm in '24 - don't suppose mass mail of ballots had anything to do with that?
The short story is that in 2020, Democrat election law specialist and attorney, Marc Alias, and his team, executed the perfect ballot harvesting and election rigging scheme in American election history — and then successfully defended their actions in court with the help of sympathetic judges and the corrupt mainstream media. The 15-21 million Biden-Harris illegal aliens are the Democrats’ latent voting bloc they hope to deploy in the future to regain control of the U.S. government. However, President-Elect Trump promises to deport these illegal aliens and fight to return federal elections to paper balloting — and require voters to provide picture identification to prove they are qualified to vote.
Well yes, my article is built on the proposition that the Dems weren't lying about the millions upon millions who voted for Brandon despite his not even bothering to campaign much. The simpler alternative to my explanation of the Disappearing Democrats is that they never existed in the first place.
My observation... Left-leaners disliked Biden originally and just felt he was a slightly better option than Trump. This time around, they found Trump's personal branding to be a lot less threatening, with some help from his appearance on Joe Rogan. Left-leaners felt abandoned by their party. They don't like how unaffordable housing and groceries are. They don't like the layoffs. They never liked the woke agenda and remained silent through it. Biden failed in his debate as his mental condition deteriorated. The people didn't get to choose their Democratic candidate. Harris failed in her debate and generally comes across as inauthentic. Trump built a posse. Aside from all of that, there's one key difference between candidates that I haven't heard anyone talk about. It's that Trump speaks directly. This is different from nearly every other politician. The people are tired of evasive language and would rather listen to someone they can comprehend. Many folks didn't want to vote for Trump, but they also couldn't keep supporting the existing establishment.
These all strike me as plausible contributing factors, but all of these explanations presume that significant numbers of Democrats vote based on logical reasoning. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that after speaking to many of them, I find that assumption to be false; ALL the folks I know who consistently vote Democrat do so for irrational reasons that escape me, and in fact when I chat with them on specific policy issues, they often sound to me like conservative Republicans (and I've told them so). That's why my theory about COVID hysteria is the only one that makes sense to me.
If I could drill into that, I'd be curious how you're approaching these subjects and to what audiences? For example, I expect online chat to be quite possibly the worst forum. It doesn't provide the visual and tonal nuance, and it certainly isn't known for its psychological safety. In my own real-life circles, I think I've experienced almost the entire range of the spectrum over politicized issues. There is no doubt that people have painted themselves into curated identities, but I do think there is a very meaningful left-leaning population that was swayed. I think the Bernie Sanders response letter to the election results is reflective of this, and the election numbers as well. You might also want to keep in mind, these people often don't speak up because only compelled speech is considered acceptable on the left and in the business world. Plus, it's likely that many of their friends are Democrats.
I'm speaking in person with friends & associates that I've had over the years. I generally find that I don't need to bring up the topic because they bring it up for me. For example, we recently visited a friend & former employee of my company from the 1990s. We stayed at their house. As much as I was determined to avoid politics, my friend (and his wife) brought up several political topics. Anyway, I'm talking mostly about in-person experiences.
Dave: Great minds think alike. I was writing a similar article when I noticed yours. I linked it at the end of mine. Mine will be posted at midnight. Mine is short and simple. Yours is long and detailed. Good match!
It’s almost like those voters never existed. Wild.
Almost. But then, it's gotten dangerous discussing the covertly obvious.

It was harder to cheat this time. They got caught in pa and az.

I'm sorry to hear that. A lot of folks have been radicalized by the internet. Try to find the ones that go outside and exercise regularly :)

Thanks!
Look at me! I believe elections are real, LOL
Baffling
Excellent post asking great questions. I'd been wondering about some of these vote statistics. Thanks for putting all of this together.
