gerrymandering and the EC are why a reliably blue state like VA, is so closely contested in its governor race.

here’s some truth wayne. a record number of americans said they were better off after 4 years of trump, and they said that during a pandemic. No president ever scored that high in gallops poll. during a pandemic when everything was closed.

there’s only one conclusion to draw from that, combined with trump getting creamed at red-election.

here it is ( heads up, you won’t like it). Americans liked Trumps policies. They hated his antics. This is precisely why the left is so completely terrified of popular republicans who will advocate for similar ( popular) policies, but without the stupid antics. The left knows they can’t attack, say, Ron Desantis the way they relentlessly smeared Trump. With a guy like Desantis ( or Tom Cotton or Nikki Haley or Tim Scott), america is more likely to judge them honestly based on the effect of their policies. that kind of rational judgment is the very last thing democrats want to happen. Which is why they need crises ( the housing collapse in 2008, covid in 2920, why they constantly pit us against each other), they NEED crisis and fear and hate, to distract americans away from the fact that america is still a center right country. that might be the case in a few years, but it’s true today.
