Obama ran against McCain and Romney, neither of whom inspired them. If MAGA existed in 2012 Obama might have lost.
MAGA did exist in 2012, it was called the Tea Party, and Obama still beat it like a drum.
Who was the Tea Party nominee for president? It sure wasn't Romney.
Romney beat all of the other Republican nominees, most of whom would absolutely be described as Tea Party. Ron Paul, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, etc. etc. etc.

Have we become more racist since Obama? If so, again it will be the divisive, deceitful, and hateful MAGA movement we have to thank for it.
Having a black president, especially a successful and popular one, unleashed the inner racism of a lot of people that had been politicially dormant for years. Trump cultivated and grew that unrest through birtherism and outrage over things like tan suits and sleeveless dresses and here we are.

Yes they are racist first and foremost.

Also, it's becoming clear that low-education Americans are gravitating to the GOP's easy dopamine hits on money, immigration and anti-LGBTQ values, which gratify people who can't think their way out of a shoebox.
The educated people have a better knowledge of history and understand that Presidents inherit the economy of their predecessors and the world-wide conjuncture. They don't fall as easily for the lies. But they can still be racist and misogynist.

No. BUT THEY WERE ALWAYS MISOGYNIST. In case you didn't know, non-white communities are more socially conservative than the American average. That includes misogynist beliefs. It's disgusting. Some Black and Latino men are voting for Trump, even though he wouldn't rent to them, just because they don't think a woman can lead the US.
And some are trying to make it sound reasonable: "A woman won't be respected when the US has to negotiate with patriarchal countries". Benazir Butto, Prime Minister of Pakistan? Khaleda Zia, Prime Minister of Bengladesh? There's quite a list of them, from Turkey to Senegal to Indonesia, and they were all badasses.

Virtually every single time Trump makes a public appearance he says or does something completely bizarre, showing his obvious mental decline. But it rarely even gets a mention from the press.
Yet Biden had a bad debate and the media harped on that one event EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR TWENTY FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT.
Meanwhile Trump is too afraid to even debate Harris or have a serious sit-down interview with anyone - but just radio silence from the media about that. No 25 straight days of continuous reporting on it like they did to Biden.
The media is manipulating the electorate through selective reporting. Either they weirdly want the 80 year old felon with dementia to run the country or they want the race to be tight because they think Kamala Harris will win but they want to sell a horse race. They did that in 2016 too, with "ButterEmails" - and Trump got elected as a result. Stupid.
I know. Many of us have pointed out the same thing. Trump is doing better in the polls than before right now. My personal belief is that two things are working against Harris:
1. Misogyny, from all sides. It's why Clinton lost, also to Trump (with Comey's last minute FBI nonsense). Men and not a few women are attracted to the rapist Trump, because as that horrible court case in France shows (the one where 50 men are on trial for raping an unconscious woman at the invitation of her husband who drugged her), they enjoy dominating women, or seeing other men get away with it.
2. Difference in media coverage. Trump has flooded the zone with sh!t, the method suggested by Steve Bannon to confound the media. Systematically addressing each one would take up all the news time and space, and the media has other topics to report on. Mathematically, this means each issue, important though it is, gets less attention than issues other politicians have, on the left or the right.
Don't blame the victims by saying Clinton miscalculated her campaign, Harris is weak on policy, blah blah blah. Have you seen the number of career-ending errors Trump has made??? Did they ever stop him? Are they stopping him now??? All politicians make mistakes. But somehow women politicians get more scrutiny. Because the media is misogynist too.
+1
and
3. Racism
I'm convinced that there is a large group of voters who will never vote for a black person.
