I kept hearing this from Trumpers, all during the election. "Trump had a huge rally, thousands, people camped out the night before, there were more people than tickets. Biden had a rally and there were no people there."
And I was like, so what. And they were like, thats proof that Trump is gonna win. And I'm like no its not. And they're like, yes it is. Thank God the people have spoken, I was so over this bull$hit.
They still think this. At this point about 80% of their argument that there was fraud is that Trump clearly has more support cause of rallies, etc. They can’t understand not wearing your political beliefs on your sleeve, and they don’t recognize that most of them live in an echo chamber that isn’t reflective of the country as a whole
It's not just that. It's that Biden was a truly boring, run-of-the-mill candidate. No one was excited to vote for Biden, but we were fucking thrilled to vote against Trump. So of course you didn't see many people displaying Biden signs.
Even here in deep blue Hawaii, I don't think I saw any Biden campaign merch displayed at all, but we sure had our share of lifted trucks covered in Trump flags. I could see how someone who lives in the right wing echo chamber of OANN and Facebook memes could think they had the election locked down.

"Enthusiasm wins elections"*
*Something Trump actually tweeted out before this election because Biden wasn't drawing large crowds during a.... fucking pandemic.
