Hmmm... on one level, you're right. On another, it didn't have to be Trump. Back in 2016, that would have been most Republican candidates. Trump came out on top for stuff that goes beyond many Republicans. I don't believe that Trump supporters support him just for the normal expected Republican things. They support him for all the hideous things he is beyond that.

I think perhaps there is an appetite for a politician that's seen as acting quickly. Politics and political legislation that effects you takes time, Trump is seen as someone that gets it done quick. Even if the thing he's doing is wrong.
I think that's part of the reason we are seeing other countries swing to the right too. The right wing politicians are less likely to care about offending and harming others to achieve their goal. People want to see results quicker.

Political legislation takes time because it has to be properly considered - these decisions can not only have local effects but can also have worldwide consequences and decisions made in haste can end up causing more harm in the long run because on unintended consequences.
You know, like leaving the Paris Accord or defunding WHO.

If CBS's latest predictions of likely counts are correct, and even if all three knife-edge or 'toss' states go to Trump (marked yellow on the link: scroll down), the end result will be 270 Biden and 267 Trump: https://www.cbsnews.com/Last edited by Golgo; 05-11-2020, 14:36.
