Follow me here:
If I had a goal of making it to 100K followers by election day, that would be very difficult/unlikely. But it would not be impossible. I would need a few viral tweets, some help, and luck. Most importantly, I would need to avoid doing things to lose followers.

The way I run my account now would make it almost impossible because I undermine that goal daily. I tweet things critical of Trump, Biden, D's, R's, the press, celebrities etc.
When I do that, I knowingly alienate some people from wanting to follow me.

If I wanted just to gain followers, I would target one group and exclusively try to appeal to that group.
But my goal isn't really to gain followers. Instead, my goal is simply to inform people and share my views. Thus I don't mind alienating some potential followers.

That analogy also applies to certain politicians. If you're down and your goal is to win an election, you probably shouldn't be constantly doing things that could alienate potential voters. If your goal is simply to appeal to a base of supporters, I guess it doesn't matter.
