Dude, I don't know how I am giving my countrymen too much credit
I am basically calling them hopeless and marks.
The handling of Covid was an absolute disaster but people didn't care. They still fell for the scam.
So I am saying that I think on the margin Covid might not have moved the needle that much. Folk that hated Trump, Covid just reinforced their previous views. People that supported Trump, Covid didn't shake their previously held views.
At the end of the day, it was about Trump and Trumpism. And I am saying the reason that might be the case is that the results of the election look more like what people would have expected before Covid happened.
As much I am taken aback and disappointed at Trump numbers, but I don't think we can look at turnout from one side. Like Trump was always on course to get these record-high numbers, and only Covid delivered high numbers for the Dems.
Nah, I think these coalitions were mostly there. I don't think Trump Covid or no Covid was in line for a popular vote victory, because the anti-Trump sentiment was high before Covid. Maybe Covid buried him on the margin, but it didn't cost him a sweeping victory.
Maybe in the following months, it will show I am wrong. But all I am really saying is that you can't talk about the turnout picture from one angle.
