    Trump rigged the 2020 election and STILL lost. That’s why he’s so mad about it.

    Fact is, if his opponents were all white men, he would never win at all.

      This is both accurate and upsetting, and a step further, had he lost in 16, to anybody. I don’t think he’d have had a chance in 20 if he even ran.

        A democrat would have been torn apart over COVID no matter how they handled it.

          I think you’re right to a degree, I do think Covid wouldn’t have been AS bad as under Trump. And the GOP still could’ve marched right into a win in 2020, but those years prior when he was president were still extremely damaging to both the sanity and structure of this country. The Supreme Court nominees alone would leave us in a wildly different state not to mention everything else he did to fan the flames of xenophobia and bigotry

      I dunno, he would mop the floor with Bloomberg. And he did beat a handful of white men in primaries, though I can see why we’d discount primary victories for obvious reasons
