Trump would have romped this without Covid!
Even with his shambolic response to the crisis, the biggest concern was 'the economy, stupid'!
There is no doubt that he held all the economic cards, with high employment and irresponsible tax cuts.
Americans were feeling good. Hell he almost pulled it off, despite Covid and being an absolute c**t!
Folk have an optimism bias that makes them think 'bad stuff' affects others, not them.
250k dead is bad, but still won't have touched the vast majority of people (and if they were impacted, it was likely be to an older relative/friend).
Most would know people who got it and recovered, which would again feed that optimism bias.
I'm glad though that it looks like his mean politics have lost.
Yours, fingers crossed
