The mistake that was made in 2016 was coiled around people making assumptions about how other people would behave based on their own subjective perspectives.

Well said. I’ve read many attempts to explain the Trump victory in 2016 in a nutshell. Your theory is among the most compelling, in my view.

I would suggest that a big reason that Trump will win again is that his critics haven’t learned anything from their loss in 2016 and will make the same mistakes again.
