Agree with this completely. The voters wanted Trump badly in 2016. That's why he won then, and almost won in 2020. They are the only ones who can say 'nope, we don't want this guy anymore' and so far they aren't saying that.
Disagree on him winning this time though. I don't see any indications that his support is as strong as it was. There's still quite a bit of it for sure, but I think he loses even to Biden and it's not particularly close this time.
