The Democrats lost not because of Trump's competence, but because of their own incompetence (and Israel, which may have been more influential than expected but hopefully not as influential as /pol/ fears).
Confidence in Biden was basically collapsing, but the Democrats were pretending that wasn't true for the whole campaign. Rather than change their candidate from the very beginning, they only switched up their tune half a year before the election and tried to astroturf Kamala into office.
The issues with this were multifaceted, but mostly
>The Democrats backpedaled in a really obvious way that couldn't be memoryholed in time
>The DNC made it clear (if it wasn't obvious) it could just change whatever candidate was supposed to run, fuck who you supposedly elected in the primaries
>People who were willing to vote for Biden weren't willing to vote for Kamala
>The lack of apparent coordination in the change made it appear as though nobody actually seemed to know what they were doing besides desperately trying to hold onto power
Add to that that Democrats were split on Israel and major protests over Gaza were taking place and support "magically" changes sides.
Meanwhile, Trump supporters were basically a cult, and half of the country doesn't even want to vote anyway because US politics is generally disgusting, but a lot probably put in a protest vote against Kamala.
In less than 10 months, Trump has made it clear that he's even more interested in his own power and supporting Israel than he is in fixing any of the actual problems he was supposedly elected to address. Sounds obvious, but at the time it was the difference between an oil fire and an oil dumpster fire.
