I assume you weren't paying attention or assume that you were unable able to figure that out? I guess we'll get to see if the blue oligarchs are any better than the blue politicians as far as ruling blue America these days. I think you guys did a wonderful job screwing yourselves this time around.
You need a strong government to solve the crisis. I paid attention enough to know Trump wasn't going to solve the COVID or racist problems. He was thoroughly on the wrong side of the two dominant problems surfacing thus far in the crisis. You solve the problems. Government becomes less focused in subsequent turnings.
We'll see which party has messed itself up. The base is still loyal to the ultimate loser. The establishment is thoroughly discredited. The true conservatives have an uphill battle against either. We'll see how the Georgia senate seats go.
If anyone has a magic wand, now is the time to wave it. Politics is broken, top to bottom. A lot of it has to do with social media, but even that can't explain the massive disconnects between real people. We've managed to move into corners, paint ourselves into them, and accuse each other of <insert the epithet suitable for the other side>. A lot of it is actually justified, which makes it harder to fix. Too much Kool-Aid and too many drinkers.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
