Well lots of thoughts here.
1. If you could predict this scenario the better outcome would’ve been for trump to win in 2020. He’d be done now, we’d probably have a good dem president and wouldn’t have dealt with 12 years of this. Plus he’d have had a dem senate and pence as vice president to slow his roll.
2. The concessions and reaction by Harris, Obama and the dems today was exactly what should be done. Classy, disappointed but not calling into question the outcome. Makes the loss to this idiot even more infuriating.
3. The analysis will take some time but I don’t think there’s much evidence a bunch of Biden voters suddenly thought trump was their guy. Trump isn’t gonna have many more votes than last time. People stayed home, and those people are honestly the worst. I can actually give a bit of credit to the voter who votes for trump because they researched it and liked his policy or something, at least they did something. The people that stayed home because they are upset, or didn’t like their choices get what they deserve here.
4. The fact that a sexual assaulting, race baiting, transphobe, cheating business man, insurrectionest, dictator loving candidate so owns the Republican Party and now the us electorate is something else. We live in the era of reality tv and the us culture brought us the kardashians, and real house wives etc. so I think they think some of this is normal. I just wish they’d own it, say they are ok with those behaviours instead of trying to rationalize it away. Some courage of your convictions that you are ok with that being your leader instead of screaming it’s not true would be refreshing.
Hopefully he is somehow moderated, by someone somewhere, and no liberal judges better retire the next 4 years.
