120 years? More than FDR, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan? 12 years would be more like it. Obama got 52.93%. Biden supposedly got 51.31%.
Another factor is that minor party candidates got about 5% of the vote last time and about 2% this time. Most of those votes went to Biden.
81 million votes for Biden does seem unrealistic, but some voters turned on Trump because of Covid, while hatred of Trump was a very strong motivator for Democrats.
I'm not sure what to think. It's possible that Biden did get more popular votes, and it's not impossible that Trump got more popular votes, though it's less likely than that he won more electoral votes if fraud hadn't happened.
“...but some voters turned on Trump because of Covid ...”
Regarding COVID I think Trump was in a Lose-Lose situation. He would have lost more votes if he had taken the rational apporoach to COVID then votes he lost following the CDC induced path he took.
Sorry got my numbers crossed on the quote.
The last election supposedly had a 66.7% turnout which was the highest since 1900. Biden had no enthusiasm and they had to manufacture and switch a massive number of votes to steal the election. Of course this was most blatant in the swing states.
