And that’s where your premise faulters. Trump became less polarizing between 2016 and 2020 because he had a record of sucess that he didn’t have in 2016.

You do realize that the things that conservatives consider "successes" - the tax reform bill, tightening the border, Supreme Court appointments, etc., greatly pissed off people who didn't like those things. That's what it means to be polarizing - you attract both more friends and more enemies.

He gained support among independents, and in particular Blacks and Latinos between 2016 and 2020. Yes, but those groups still went for Democrats overall, and more of them voted in 2020 than in 2016. The Democratic get out the vote drives in the ghettos and barrios was incredible.

“You do realize that the things that conservatives consider “successes” - the tax reform bill, tightening the border, Supreme Court appointments, etc., greatly pissed off people who didn’t like those things.”

The people who are foolish enough to hate lower taxes and border security already hated Trump in 2016.

“Yes, but those groups [Indepedents, Blacks, Latinos] still went for Democrats overall, and more of them voted in 2020 than in 2016. The Democratic get out the vote drives in the ghettos and barrios was incredible.”

That’s putting it mildly, and euphemistically. They went to Nursing homes in Wisconsin to “help” those in mental decline to vote. They broke state laws and ballot harvested on a grand scale. I encourage you to watch 2000ules if you doubt what I’m saying.
