    Are people really going to vote for a 80’ish year old would be dictator? For notionally a 4 year term? And no coherent succession plan?

      He got more votes after people knew exactly who he was. I don’t think he’s lost many of them the more ‘out loud’ he gets.

        Actually if you go by percentage Trump basically won nobody new, he just picked up more votes total because vote by mail made the poles more accessible to more folks who would have voted for him anyways.

        What changed was that people weren’t fucking around and voted solidly against him, giving Biden an absolute majority of the popular vote.
