35. We won in 2020 for the same reason we could win in 2028 (if there is a fair election).

2020: Trump Fatigue.
2024: Total (and predictable) collapse of a Democratic Presidential Campaign. Too little time for Kamala Harris.
2028: Likely even more Trump Fatigue. Much more.
No conspiracy theories are needed. Just believe what you see, even if it's sometimes hard to do. But what we see now is that Trump is truly unhinged and he does want to manipulate, if not eliminate, the next elections.
