a couple reasons come to mind

Obama ran on change you can believe in, capitalizing on americans desire for a break from the corrupt politics that have been dominating for generations, but really he just ended up upholding the status quo.

Trump sort of copied obamas successful campaign and simultaneously tweaked it to appeal to the racists that hated obama for being black.

Fox News spent the entire Obama presidency getting people upset over nothing and then the Democrats nominated the most unlikable person as their candidate.

But where were all the racists when Obama got elected? Did they all not vote against him?

Yea I voted for Obama because he ran on a platform of change, which he never really delivered. He got me hyped up wed see real change in politics.

I cant say I dislike him, I was just... disappointed

yeah following up the change you can believe in with literal hillary clinton was another major factor.

When people simply do not care and blindly scrolling through the pool of options
driven ONLY by hope, that everything will change to the better with 1 single "choice"
...anything can happen

Obama's entire gimmick was change, which seems to be what the majority of the country desires for the most part. And Trumps campaign was essentially the same when you think about it. He also lucked how against likely the worst candidate of all time so he had that going for him.

Not enough Americans cared about politics between 208-2016. After seeing how far down America went during this time, enough Americans got together and voted in Trump.

I don't know the stats or numbers, but wasn't voter turnout a lot lower in the past election? So many people that went out and voted for Obama, simply didn't vote last time.
Be curious to see if we have a higher turnout this year. Some articles I've read seem to believe there will a higher turnout of black voters again this year. Which I would guess would benefit Biden.
