........who either didn't vote at all in 2016 (my mom, of all people, is one of these) because they didn't like either candidate (say what you will about Hillary, but she had a constant propaganda campaign waged against her since 1991, and it did have an effect), or voted for Trump in 2016 because they wanted to "go a different direction" or "try something different" only to see that they screwed up, and are now vowing that after the debacle that has been the last 4 years, they're enthusiastically voting Democrat.

I think non-voters and disappointed Trump voters will make up a healthy percentage swing from Trump to Biden this time around. And ANY swing in the voting populace is probably deadly for a guy who "won" by the slimmest of margins the last time. Even if those people comprise only 5% of the population, a 5% swing could take us into landslide territory.
