Also keep in mind, you were wrong in your predictions about the election, citing the broken polls and (I believe) thinking a big Blue Wave was on it's way. Didn't happen. It's been narrow, the Democrats lost seats in congress and didn't flip the senate. If Biden wins, I would give them the nod overall for sure - but it is likely to be a very slim and probably heavily contested victory.

If you were wrong about how Trump would perform, which you were, I'd take your ideas about Why with a grain of salt.

My stance: The media was fully propagandizing him the whole way, nothing he could have done in the unprecedented Covd outbreak would has escaped brutal scrutiny and that without that he'd likely won in a landslide. He is not perfect by any means but this idea a guy who would have likely won in a landslide without an extremely biased media against him, without an extremely biased technocrat class against him, without the vast majority of pop culture against him and without an unprecedented outbreak of a global pandemic is somehow 'horrid'?

Really, the only thing working in his favor was how awful an unelectable Joe Biden was as a candidate (which he was/is). Meanwhile, take away covid or if Twitter/******** weren't censoriing the right and even mainstream journalists, or is the MSM as a whole was not full-on propaganda -- without ALL of those combined, Trump would almost assuredly won last night without the current drama.

That isn't horrid, sorry.
That is how I see it as well, which is why I can't even pretend to be shocked by Trump losing.

You could replace Trump with whoever you want, but the odds stacked against him by some of the dirtiest, collectively coordinated efforts to swing public perception seemed nigh insurmountable.

I also attribute some of this greater problem to Trump himself, though, as he should have never engaged with Twitter since the onset of his presidency to such a degree that he only helped elevate it to being a key outlet for information and political discourse. Especially without securing legal recourse early on in his favor that could have prevented the undeniably biased behavior by media outlets.

Twitter in particular wants to both be a private corporationanda public platform, but they have been allowed far too much leash to effectively have best benefits of both concepts, which in turn amounts to a private corporation controlling one ofthelargest aggregations of news and discussion in the modern era.

The verynotionof this should haveeveryonealarmed, but the left has been allowing this to continue with impunity because it happened to service their interests and view points at the moment. Likewise, the questionable nature of the actual election itself with all of the ongoing shenanigans should be disconcerting to anyone who claims to support the integrity of the electoral process. Butagain, some people are content to let it slide because it happens to work in their favor.

In any case, the election being this close with a president who was as controversial and divisive amongst people such as Trump, during a pandemic, no less, is not exactly the confidence-boosting victory some want it to be. And I would be shocked if he wasn'tstill living rent free in the minds of many,manypeople who have been obsessed with the guy as though he personally punched their dog.

I hate talking chit on the internet but you've had your account since August and somehow have almost 4k posts. I've had this account for 10 years and barely have that many. Its time to log off and join the real world.

This is either how he makes his living or an amateur programmer is having fun with a bot. Anything else is incomprehensible

Ah, most posts were made during the August-November run up to the election.

Now I'm just on cruise control, posting here and there on occasion, reminding you of the agony of your past.

Agreed. The R's will need to reimagine their party if they have any hope of winning over those they've alienated in the past week and a half. Trump very well could break away with a separate party and probably would have some degree of success, due to his widespread, persevering popularity. This is OFC assuming things remain the same.

However, I suspect over the next two weeks, events will happen that will further sour the public opinion on Trump. Stay tuned.
