In 2016 Trump was elected because a very sizable portion of the country could not stand Hillary and their vote was anti-Hillary more than
pro-Trump. In 2020 Biden was elected because most people had had their fill of Donald Trump and their vote was more anti-Trump than pro-Biden. Now in 2024 we are faced with two repugnant individuals, so whoever wins it will not because anybody liked them but because they were manipulated into hating the other one; virtually every vote will be an “anti” vote. And whoever loses will be convinced the other team cheated (which will probably be true of both teams, so the loser will have a point.)
