The adults that are under educated that voted. I’m saying the dumbing down of America is coming from inside the house by slashing school budgets and how you set education standards. Schools are supposed to operate apolitically but the fact is it is a political institution with political ramifications. Keeping pay low and standards low of what is taught keeps a populace dull and compliant. Educated enough to run the machines at the factory but dumb enough not to ask for more in their lives.
I’ll entertain you as I don’t think you are asking this question in good faith. I will have to separate out the 2008 election from the 2020 election.
In 2008 the election was between Obama and McCain but the rumblings of the symptoms of far right conservatism was boiling up. Tea party and Sarah Palin, remember the clip of McCain having to tell an older voter that Obama wasn’t a secret Kenyan citizen, that is a trump voter right there. It’s just at the time the Republican Party had more of a back bone and was willing to entertain the middle and not play into peoples worst ideas, that has since disappeared.
The 2020 election was also before citizens united decision . Every election after has been inundated by messaging from private corporations that have their own agenda and want to sway an uneducated populace to vote in their interests. Look at how much money Elon was willing to burn because he thinks that it will benefit him.
Ok now for 2020 election. Honestly, if there was no pandemic or if Trump had been more responsive to the pandemic I think he would have been reelected. But he fucked up the pandemic response so bad that people were and did get hurt by his incompetence. So people voted him out so that we could actually get the situation under control. That is why Biden won in 2016, things were so bad trump could have lost to a brain dead turnip, democrats could have put anyone up against trump and they would have won.
This will be my closing, just like roe v wade, this is a case of the dog catching the car. Now that republicans have won now they actually have to lead. In 4 years when nothing has improved in people’s lives they will realize they were bamboozled and are not going to actually be better off.
I do hope that answers your question. I tried approaching it as academically as I could for you. I do hope you read and digest these words carefully and thoughtfully but is the internet so I’m also expecting a response of a poop emoji too. So good day to you fellow traveler and good luck.

Is that the same reason why biden was elected in 2020 or obama before him?

Good catch, I swore I checked over this, seems like no matter how many times I look over something I’ll still miss something.
