    I tried, but honestly until we get rid of Gerrymandering, Republicans will have a foothold no matter how blatantly unpopular and universally reviled they are

      The problem is they aren’t universally reviled. Trump still got 77M votes (almost half the popular vote). And that was in the full knowledge of how badly he fucked up the first time. But even if people didn’t pay attention to the pandemic, and the Muslim ban, and the separation of children from their families, and the protests, and the insurrection, the man still behaves like a toddler with frontotemporal dementia (including sundowning on stage). Yeah gerrymandering is a definite problem, but the commercialisation of politics and the relentless rightwing propaganda is a much bigger one.

        Yeah, but the thing is, Trump didn’t gain any voters, Kamala merely failed to re-obtain votes Biden had one.

        And since Voter Intimidation was in full swing and Elon is, according to Trump “Good with computers, so you don’t REALLY need to vote”, there’s too much shenanigans

          My point is that 77M people want trump to be president and that is 77M too many when you consider the shit show that was his first term. Even if a few million of those votes are fabricated, it’s still a massive problem.
