People posting this type of stuff have to know that we have a an electoral college where swing states have a disproportionate influence on the outcome. Voter turnout was up in all of those states.

But didn't he also win the popular vote this time?

Yes, it was extremely Trump’s win. His first legitimate full win. There’s no EC shenanigans. Simply a majority of the votes and in a majority of the states.

Who cares, right? The meme suggests that people sat home this time. If they would have only come out, Harris would have won. But that's simply not true. Harris got more votes than Biden in 4 of the 7 swing states, about the same in 2 snd one is still being counted. Voter turnout out there was up as well. People didn't stay home where it mattered. Just more voted for Trump.
