In theory, sure. The exact reasons for Biden not having a crowd were, you know circumstances that had not happened in a generation involving a nationwide and global pandemic. He didn't want to press a crowd together, and Trump's always been very heavy on the "press a crowd together" tactic. I don't see anything inherently implausible about "people were scared and angry and voted in record numbers through unconventional means" as a story.
Is that what happened? My guess is yes, but I wouldn't be super surprised if in say, 30 years everyone looks back on it and thinks "oh yeah, that was the election where the Democrats cheated." A lot of emotions are raw right now so I'm not going to be very vocal about this, but I think the odds are relatively high that if any recent election went squirrely it was this one.
Like in 2016 I also suspect that while fraud might've decided the election on the margin, it's way more likely it was in the "ten thousand votes per swing state" category. The expense and energy to drive up the vote count in safe states, a ton of which would've had to fake split ticket votes to not be obvious (pretty sure the "literally redo ballots to Biden and only Biden" would've been too hard and pointless to fake as opposed to extra ballots) makes me think that this actually was a record turnout election with people voting based on "ahh, plague, make it stop" more than anything else.
I doubt that, Trump has consistently been drawing in massive crowds to his rallies. He just is that popular with the voters. When you had concerts for Hillary, people would stay for the concert part and then file out when it was over because they didn't give a damn about her. There was also the release of the victory speech from Biden where he didn't even go onto a stage and a pre-recorded voice clip started playing to an audience of empty cars.
The thing with the 2016 election is no one thought Trump would win. The media, pundits (Except Ann Coulter), Hollywood, just about every Democrat, they all thought he wouldn't win. Then he won. Then you had, since the moment he was proclaimed president elect, nothing but constant histrionics and hysteria from the media, working everyone into a frothing rage that Trump, who's a jerk and oafish but is ultimately pretty milk-toast, was the reincarnation of Hitler. Leaked audio from MSBNC (or one of them) had a conversation where they admitted they'd intentionally never mention anything good about Trump and only negatives. All of the MSM companies acted like that. Now you have people wanting to create purge lists, you have others creating Truth and Reconciliation things to tar and feather Trump's supporters. The morally superior side have engaged in non-stop smearing and abuse since he won the presidency and is it any surprise that the democrats are now doing everything in their power to steal the election?
A record turn out also in no ways goes against the voter count exceeding the numbers of registered voters in a lot of states. Michigan was the first and claimed it was a typo where they added 150K instead of 15K voters and that's a reasonable excuse that was rectified (or at least it was claimed to be rectified) but for the same thing to happen to multiple states? Nah.
It's clear the democrats cheated and cheated excessively. The party needs to be investigated and a new one created. That the democrats have sullied any claim to being honest and honourable has gone out the window and no one should be supporting them. At the least they need to be rebranded or a new party with the old leadership removed formed.
