The problem is people generally don't vote on things unless they affect them directly. Case in point, in 2016, everyone knew Trump sucked and was bad for the country, which is why his campaign struggled and he lost the popular vote. But 100,000 people across Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, basically said "well yeah he sucks, but maybe manufacturing jobs, why not?"

Fast-forward four years of Nazis in Charlottesville, child separation, George Floyd, and COVID, and people are like "wow, the orange man is actually bad, and worse, he's bad to ME."

Now, he's gone, and we've got Biden, so everyone has lapsed back in their 2016 state going, "yeah that guy sucked, but he's not President, why should we care?"
