After the dust settles one thing political analysts, historians, etc. be trying to figure out for awhile is how Trump, despite his mouth, racist overtones and accusations, etc., actually gained support among most of your usual minority demographics. Not a majority but substantial gains among latino, black, lgbt, etc. some places.
That was pretty much cancelled out by losing support among average middle class white folk.
It's like some of the demographic each party could count on flipped at something close to even numbers.
 
Also there are a lot of Republicans who aren't too happy with libertarian voters right now. Look at the numbers places Biden got by a small margin.

Ive been paying some attention to this and for Latino, second and third generation immigrant families are the ones responsible. They don't get how bad their parents and grandparents had it. They may know intellectually, but they didn't live it.

It just proves what the rest of the world has always thought about Americans. You're all dumb as door nails.

I can see that being a factor for sure though it's not uncommon for all immigrants. Couple generations away from the first arrivals are pretty much just American through and through.

LOL Libertarians thinking they matter.

L generally pulls votes away from R. Not totally but a solid majority. Green pulling votes from D same thing.
Look up the totals, in actual number of votes, places Biden is squeaking by. Then consider oh I don't know, call it 65 maybe 70 % of those L's voting Republican instead.

The Georgia Senate race is a prime example.

You follow right wing stuff. Routinely post about what the magas are saying, etc. I know you know they're blaming L spoilers anywhere and everywhere margins are that close.

At least throwing it in with the whole widespread vote fraud, Dominion software, magas the only thing standing to save the republic from socialist coup, etc.

They don't talk about Libertarians on MSNBC so he doesn't have a clue.

I'll never understand why wearing a mask is such an issue with some people. It's not just the Trumpers either. I've seen idiots from just about all walks of life raising hell about it. Just stupid.

y’all cry about your rights and make everything political

it’s a mask lol
there’s a virus
protect yourself, protect others

THE END

People trying to say it's all trumpers are completely out of touch, probably get their "facts" from Twitter.

Yes, it really is all over the place. I know a few Republicans(not Trumpers per se) who are taking it very seriously and some Democrats who are being super careless.
