I've been thinking about how this pandemic would've grew under a Clinton presidency. She really had no plans whatsoever except upholding the status quo, much like Biden is going to be a return to said status quo.
The pandemic absolutely would've crushed her chances of re-election. I truly think Trump takes this election if not for the pandemic. That's the one thing that ruined it for him. Biden just narrowly won and the GOP still kept the senate and are in perfect position for retaking the house in 2 years.
Clinton wouldn't have handled the pandemic much better. We'd still have an insane high death toll cause this whole thing has exposed how badly our for-profit healthcare system is set up and defunded and privatized institutions. She would've had Republican governors and senators calling for her impeachment and not wanting to deal with her. The right wing backlash would've been insane.
IMO I believe we're still some years away from reaching the full potential of a right wing fascist movement, but Biden was the candidate who it's going to grow under. He is about to inherit the absolute worst economy and highest unemployment since the great depression, all with a raging pandemic going on which he has ZERO plan to do anything about this stuff. His entire campaign was just "not Trump". This is going to blow up in their faces so hard. He'll have exactly a year to figure out this stuff and when he don't, we're going to see some serious far right populism arising as a reaction to it.
