In 2016 voters wanted to shake things up, which is why (unlike 2020) Bernie Sanders could have won in the November general election.
In 2020 voters wanted the shaking to stop.
We just want a return to normal.
We just want a return to BORING.
We just want to get through the day, read or watch the day’s news, without freaking out over what the crazy guy did that day.
Trump called Biden “Sleepy Joe” and what voters heard was, “Vote for Joe Biden and you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep once again” and, as a result, despite massive Republican voter fraud, cheating, foreign interference, voter suppression, closing polls in Democratic strongholds, purging Democratic constituencies from voter rolls, etc., Biden still crushed Trump by MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION VOTES and an Electoral College margin that Trump called a “landslide.”
