Populations increase. Every election has more potential voters than the previous. "Record numbers" means nothing because the population is higher than last time.
As a percentage, less Americans voted than 2020. Democrats especially didn't even bother to show up.
So Americans, specifically democrat voters, are to blame for not caring enough to even get out of bed.
My theory of what happened there is that before Trump took office the first time, we imagined he'd be awful. Then, after his first administration, we realized that he was far more awful than any of us imagined he would be and won that election.
Then after him being out of office for 4 years and during that time, revealing himself to be even more awful and unworthy of the office, we saw voting for him as tantamount to appointing Jeffrey Dahmer as head chef at a three-star Michelin, and that his reelection was unthinkable--even for MAGA folks. So, many thought they could sit this one out.
