I still question if people in 2016 who voted for Donald Trump actually liked him and his policies, or if they voted for him because they viewed that election as a referendum on Washington Politics as a whole and they voted against the system. The entire matchup featured a complete outsider who never held public office against arguably the most 'in the system' candidate you could have come up with in Hillary Clinton, so naturally the election could be framed as pro-system vs anti-system where there is a lot of anti-system sentiment that a politician can capitalize on.
Just looking at what people think of Trump now that he's been in office really indicates how little enthusiasm people have for him. His approval rating has rarely been above 50%, there was no real 'honeymoon' period for him at the beginning of his term where most people wanted him to have a fair shot, and every time there's been a major situation or crisis Trump has consistently found himself on the wrong side of public opinion in how he handled it........ Biden barely campaigned in states that he handily won early in the primary, and yet he still ran away with the nomination because people view him as the best bet to defeat Trump and return things to a sense of normalcy, that's how much people really dont care for Trump as president.
The window lickers who loudly defend Trump to this day try to mask the glaring disdain that a majority of the country has for him, but the fact that he is pushing states like Texas, Georgia, and Arizona closer to the liberal side/closer to being swing states is a pretty clear indication of how hollow his base has become.
