1. So, I think reasonable people can agree that Trump was one of the worst presidents in American history, totally unfit for any position of authority and he presided over a disaster covid response. That leaves the interesting question of how he came so close to re-election.

5. As bad as Trump was, there are things worth copying: bullying the Fed to do full employment & low interest, generous stimulus (and sign the damn checks), & in general concrete results for supporters. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/biden-learn-trump-economy/ …

If 44K Biden voters stayed home in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, the electoral college would have been tied. So, yeah, Trump could've won the EV with just a bit less Democratic turnout.

It’s info silos and MSM normalization of him. Half the country only hears baloney.

And his followers being unable to do math. Even before Covid, Trump was adding jobs at much slower pace than Obama, the trade war crushed family farms, and the deficit doubled.

Also he and his supporters just straight up were lying to people about what they had done and what they would do if re-elected.

The single largest voting block for Trump is the one that would vote for a monkey with an R next to its name. I don't understand why pundits don't point that out. It has nothing to do with product attributes. It's brand affiliation.

we are seeing an intense (perhaps unconscious) devotion (from a large minority of the population) to an image of America from the 1950s that is threatened by an irreversible demographic trend.those that fear their America is being lost will be increasingly mobilized to prevent it

I think persistent exaggeration, misdirection, and outright lies about economic growth, the standard GOP playbook, helped those ratings.

Are you saying that the Fed no longer targets 2% inflation?

The Fed's been targeting 2% inflation but it can't get there. Not enough demand in the world to make it happen and hasn't been since before the Financial Crisis.
