Why did voters elect Biden in 2020 over Trump, only to elect Trump 4 years later, where's the sense in that?

[paledreams]

Swing voting, is all I can think of, or voters who are bipolar/moody? Like the weather? Whichever way the wind blows 🌬️🍃 shrugs - surely I'm asking a fair question here as an Aussie, American voters kicked out The Donald in 2020, after only one 4 year term, and then, 4 years later, have elected him back in again for one last 2nd term. Why and I'm asking "the why" as in a deeper, how come? 🫴🏻💭

covid trashed it all and trum pwas attacked non stop... some believed that messaging which meshed with how he was presented in left media. It shifted some minds to vote biden

don't try to make sense of people:) political winds shift as people discover the results of their choices... luckily in USA, we've had ability to change direction every 4 years. not always the case in history. Germany paid the price in 1930's and 40's for the decisions they made.

So a Democrat for 2028 if the stocks crash again between Late Jan 2025 and October 2028? Lol 😆🤣

[lightbulb27]

yes, if there's enough pain experienced, people will switch. The media and system can create that pain... that's what happened last time.
I'd expect that again in some form...
the black swan might be missiles flying...

Oh I just mean another stock market crash because let's face it "lol the apparent quote of '2004, it just seems like the economy does better under the Democrats" lol - my hope is that this stock rally doesn't last and what rally of stocks ever does last anyhow, I'm no markets guy, I'm a terrible maths guy, all I'm guessing is surely. the best time for a stock market crash, is under a Republican's tenure to blame hahahahaha 😆😂 then you Americans will just have the Democrats sail to victory ✌🏻 voting wise

[lightbulb27]

market did great under trump until covid hit. if you'll recall, as soon as he got in it rocketed 1000 pts and kept going.

[paledreams]

Please feel free to explain the market rally under the Biden years? Or at least the last two of the last foUr years?

[paledreams]

The markets been rallying all year and all 2023 year supposedly and this was under Biden

[lightbulb27]

[paledreams]

So it's not all saviour Trump lol driving markets ahahahaha

[paledreams]

[paledreams]

Cheers buddy cya 😃

I guess Yanks blamed Biden for the economy, but who really knows what Americans think?

[paledreams]

And the irony is , they voted out Donald in 2020, only to vote Donald back in for 2024... somehow that doesn't make sense, right? After all, Covid or not, the stocks did crash in early 2020 lol 😆 and the "signs" of a crash even I had seen in 2019 lol as a know it all wannabe know it all

I don't know what the term is in English but in Polish we say, "Biden dał im dobrze po papalić." Which basically translates to something, a lot of people suffered consequences for electing him. We got into two new wars. A lot of blacks lost their jobs too illegals. A lot of blue collar jobs in the rust belt states were lost. Arizona got flooded with criminals. We also had a record number of young people who turned out and voted for him. You could say it was rigged, maybe it was maybe it wasn't. A lot of young people especially admitted they liked his policies, but not his personality, which is the biggest reason they voted for Biden. I guess they finally got their priorities straight. They didn't realize how incompitent Biden would be. We also had a lot of independents and undecideds go for him. I heard going on Theo Vaughn and Joe Rogan also helped him reach a younger audience. Also, even Kamala's allies at CNN and Univision turned on her, which I feel made people finally question here. I think she still would've had a chance, but she made too many mistakes during the last few weeks of her campaign. She criticized Trump for refusing to do a second debate, when she refused to debate him on Fox, then she showed up late to a Fox News interview and refused to do Joe Rogan's podcast, which really exposed her hypocrisy and insecurity. She never directly answered questions, but always started talking about Trump and felt the need to constantly remind us that she was a prosecutor. But I think what really did her in was Joe Biden calling half the American population "garbage". That sealed her fate. Then she had that Julia Roberts video and that video about how Biden did so much for the economy and how Trump ruined it. Her lies became so ridiculous that even people on the Left couldn't believe them. She based her entire campaign on denying Biden's dimentia and what Trump did wrong instead of what SHE would do. She took the American people for fools, she even called young voters "idiots", but we're not as dumb as naiive as we think. She seemed to have a strong start, but her lies and hypocrisy are what ultimately did her in. Also, even for many Liberals she wasn't their first choice. The DNC just put her in. The American people did not nominate her to run. Remember in the last election she only had 1% of the vote.

Not the first time this happened. Grover Cleveland was elected to two non-consecutive terms in 1884 and 1892, losing a close 1888 election to Benjamin Harrison, Even though he won the 1888 nationwide popular vote, Cleveland lost his home state of New York by just 1% of the vote. Had he won New York, he would have been re-elected.

In 2020, when Biden defeated Trump in a close election, the COVID-19 pandemic introduced extensive not-in-person voting for the first time. Whether there was fraud or not (can be debated either way), it changed the way people vote, and increased the numbers of voters, since it made voting much easier than in the past.

Because it probably was rigged. I can't think of anyone in their right mind who would have voted for him. Obama and Kamala aren't much better (to me) but at least they're not dementia ridden
