    There it is

    Trump did not lose because of fraud

    He lost because of a FAILED PANDEMIC RESPONSE

    The three big issues people in general rated Biden over Trump on were Covid, healthcare and BLM.

    He lost because of the MSM/Hollywood/Social Media being allied to democrats.

    Media isn't functioning as a check on the govt, they are allied to one side of the govt.

    Given how much of a cultural influence they are, all of them, it shouldn't be surprising Trump lost.

    Also dem areas have been hit the worst, this pandemic response failed because of dems. Putting infected people in old folks homes...smh. They have blood on their hands.

    Interesting research.

    The essential question about 2020 will always be:

    Could Trump had Won IF Covid had never happened?

    We will never know.

    Indeed. That and his deplorable character.
    I wonder how many votes he lost due to dead trump supporters from the trump virus?
    There’s a sad irony in that.

    Trump almost won. Not many people would have needed to have a different opinion.

    More democrats have died than Republicans.

    This is evidenced by the fact its dem areas that have been hit the hardest, even in republican states.

    There is a sad irony in the clear joy you were just taking thinking that could be the case, when its quite the opposite. Dems failed this pandemic hard.

    No, his response to the virus is what ultimately did him in.
    Too many people were ok with his deplorable character until their loved ones started to die.

    No, the media/social media/hollywoods cultural influence and overwhelmingly being democrat allies did him in.

    The pandemic had nothing to do with it.

    And people dying is mostly the fault of the democrats.

    What his plan is to fast track the vaccine get it distributed to the most vulnerable people and hopefully eventually build up herd immunity. He just ripped off Trump. I guess imitation of the master is the best way to go about it.

    I think electoral cheating did him in. Joe Biden a reanimated corpse got more votes than Barack Obama, say what you will about Barack Obama he was loved.

    I don't buy it.

    Yeah they're going to Hoot and holler and call me a conspiracy theorist, that's often how you try and silence dangerous opinions.
    yeah it's kind of like back when the murder rate was so high and then it dropped significantly in the US because of the murder rate was so high in New York started dropping around 96 what happened around 96....

    The biggest LOSER*-in-Chief has 49 days AKA 7 weeks to clean out his desk and find somewhere that will take him as a fugitive from justice.

    Yeah I make way for the generic knockoff Trump. Joe Biden.

    It's not that bad he just copies everything Trump did at least he's following good example.

    So he's going to do exactly what Donald Trump did.

    Generic dumbed down version of Donald Trump at least he's following greatness.

    His plan is a complete rip-off of Donald Trump's so he's going to do the exact same thing as Donald Trump but he's going to whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

    I know your beef with Donald Trump had nothing to do with the way he handled covid because Biden's plan is to do the exact same thing Trump did your problem with him was that he said things that bothered you.

    It's like Barack Obama he was a carbon copy of George Bush he did all of the same things George Bush did and he was a saint. And it's because he's sweet talked you.

    Forgive me for not being that gullible.

    I prefer my taxes not to go up but under Biden they absolutely will.

    The OP is right because Trump’s Covid19 comportment pissed me off.

    I also blame Trump’s loyalists because they didn’t have the guts to confront his misbehaving.

    Thus, Trump and his cowards lost the election.
