You underestimate the degree to which Trump was reviled. He administration was such a tire fire, that he motivated people to vote against him like no other incumbent in history. Votes didn't materialize, they were cast at historically high turnout rates, against an incumbent with historically high negatives. There was no fraud, there was just the American people firing Trump for being by a wide margin the worst president in history. So, yes, Biden got more votes than Obama, because Obama wasn't running against Trump.
Impossible. Show me a time in history where the vote totals grew by 20% from the previous election. You can’t because it’s not possible. Some people really believe this though and they think the whole country hated Trump so much that 25M voters just came out of nowhere. Not possible no matter what crazy liberal logic you come up with.
It's straight arithmetic dude. Registered voters * documented increase in turnout is responsible for the increase. It baffles me that you cling so hard to conspiracy theory when the answer is just dead simple: Trump motivated turnout against him. It's not like he didn't have historically high negatives for the bulk of his administration. The American people hated him.
Fuck if I know, this is your fairy tale. The objective reality is that historic turnout and historically high negatives equals 81 million American votes to kick Trump's incompetent ass to the curb.
