He won’t last years in a Supermax. Maybe a few mooches, not a few years.
It’s not just turnout, turnout was much higher in 2020 than 2016 but even with that Trump gained 12M votes between the two. Millions of people who sat out the 2016 election looked at those four years and decided Trump deserved another go. But Biden got nearly 19M more than Hillary did, and more importantly, got those margins in the correct states to make an EC win out of it.

The article says that Biden “looked stunned and froze”, but there is video embedded in the article and it’s clear that Biden was stunned in the sense of “Holy shit, what was that?”, and not in terms of having some sort of episode. But now we’re gonna get all the idiots reminding us that they think Biden is too old for all this.
I’m getting downvote because people think I’m bOtH sIdEsInG it all.
I’m simply noting that both sides have no common ground anymore. I left unsaid the fact that the Conservatives seem to be entirely divorced from reality, and making their own facts up.
If “mainstream media” seems “leftist”, it might be because the left is rooted in actual facts, and the right is rooted in made-up shit.
The real problem happened in 1929 when Congressional apportionment was set at 435. Congress regularly increased in size before then. The population has more than doubled since 1930, yet the overall number of representatives hasn’t changed, which means each district gets bigger.
There are 990K people in the largest district by population currently, with 545k in the smallest. (Plot twist: that large district is actually Delaware, which still has only one district, somehow)

“We’re losing a lot of people because of the internet,” Trump said. “We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what’s happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way. Somebody will say, ‘Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.’ These are foolish people. We have a lot of foolish people.”
He said this in 2015, folks. And we still elected him. We’re fucked.

Note how Meadows keeps repeating that “he did not mishandle classified information”. And they did mention in the article that Trump declassified it, intending to “release” it. But it’s far more plausible that he declassified it with the express intent to bury it. It’s clear that whatever was in that report, Trump and Meadows wanted to make sure nobody in the US ever read it.
Maybe Putin has a copy, but quite frankly I doubt it. If the report is as bad as I think, Trump would prefer that nobody has a copy
“I don’t think that people are exaggerating. I think it’s that they actually are living in information environments in which it is true for them that democracy is under threat,” she said.
It’s this right here. The two sides are so far apart because they consume different information environments, and they have vastly different opinions, which are even based on different facts and concepts of truth. Democrats literally can’t understand what Republicans are thinking, and vice versa, because they can’t agree on the most basic facts anymore.
No, they’re paying attention. They’re voting for the fascists on purpose, because they will only hurt the people who they feel deserve it, and then America will be available to the right kind of people.
Since it turns out many of them are closet lesbians, maybe they’re just fucking themselves over.

Hey, someone else try posting their password here to see if it works!
Well yeah, in-groups and out-groups and all that. They relish on going after enemies for things that we all know they do themselves. They want to reinforce that the rules apply to them differently, and make sure all US common folk know our place.
The modern Republican Party wants to turn this country into an Oligarchy, just like Russia, because their leaders think they will be the Oligarchy when it happens.
“Because I said so”
