President Biden’s poor polling numbers have raised questions about the possibility of a blowout victory by former President Trump in November, even as he grapples with his own political challenges …
He was also toast before he got the shot in the arm that was all of the other Reagan Democrats dropping out simultaneously except and we were ordered to treat the Jim Clyburn endorsement and SC primary win as if it decided the whole election. Right before all this the man was talking about leaving record players on for kids at night to help them learn, saying he didn't care about young people's issues, saying he'd veto M4A, and getting chewed out by his eventual VP pick for being a segregationist.
I'm still convinced that if Trump started selling cloth "Keep America Great" masks on his campaign website or worn one around for a few days he would've won.

It genuinely annoys me that he didn't do something like that. It could have been an easy fucking layup to both get a bunch of cash and also not get his hogs killed but he couldn't even do that. The reactionary nature of the hogs was such that as soon as "the libs" started masking it was all but guaranteed that they were going to cough into each others open mouths
Like I really don't want to hand it to the guy, especially in a hypothetical, especially because he is an incompetent fascist, and especially because I'm sure we'd have invariably wound up in the same place as we did under Brandon before long because the orphan crushing machine would have eventually been given more orphans to crush regardless of who was president. But there is no doubt in my mind that plenty of hogs would've cast their "closely held" beliefs about the nanny state aside in 2020 if the Trump White House even feigned some kind of support for taking better precautions (or just appealing to the racist heart of Amerikkka by framing it as a "protect American patriotism from the elusive China flu!!!") instead of coming around to side with the plague rats. That's countless lives that could've been saved in the process.
If the Dems still won control of Congress in 2020 I imagine they'd have become the ones reflexively acting to curtail second-term Trump's attempts to end pandemic aid or the moratoriums, and might've even cared about pushing for upgraded ventilation, better testing and tracking infrastructure, remote work policies, and additional stimulus checks. It'd be funny if something good happened in this country as a result, simply because the Dems were actually engaged in harm reduction over the cheeto winning re-election. Instead they just became a new wave of plague rats under their own incompetent fascist.
all Trump had to do was send out that second check in September, but McConnell played him and talked him out of it. convinced him to dangle it like a reward instead
he was toast before covid

meaning Biden, right? (I don't think Biden would have managed a win without COVID)
