> People really did not like Trump they just didn't like incumbents more.

In 2016 Trump got 63M votes. Clinton got 66M.

In 2020 Trump got 74M votes. Biden got 81M.

In 2024 Trump got 77M votes. Harris got 75M.

Trump's popularity increased with each election. Turnout for Harris was definitely lower than the previous election, but the dip was not exceptional. Trump won because of his popularity - not despite it.
