2020 Presidential Election Analysis
As I’m writing this article on Sunday November 22nd, Joe Biden has almost 80 Million Votes while Trump has almost 74 Million. That’s a 6 million vote advantage, which is more than twice as much as Hillary beat Trump in 2016. In the electoral college, it’s a landslide victory as Joe Bide has 306 Electoral College votes to Trump’s 232. That is a significant 74 vote margin in favor of Biden. However, in the alternate reality of Trump World, they are describing this as a close election. Unbelievable!
The most terrifying aspect of this election is not Trump’s refusal to acknowledge his loss, it’s fact that Republicans support Trump 100% with his baseless allegations of fraud and abuse. In Michigan, Republicans refused to validate the votes from Wayne County, which includes Detroit and is predominantly black. They are acting as if this is 1960 and we are in the deep south states of Mississippi and Alabama where blacks routinely lost their right to vote. This is disgusting, and except for Mitt Romney, nobody in the Republican party is standing up to this horrific attack on our democracy.
Trump lost the key battleground states Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia because of the black vote. Arizona was close, and in my opinion, Trump lost that red state because of his repeated brutal attacks on war hero John McCain. Once again, nobody in the Republican Party stood up to Trump for his disgusting comments about the man.
Another big factor was the number of longtime Republican moderates who voted for Biden. They are people who put country before party [Lincoln Project] and I have tremendous respect for them. I saw a preliminary number, but I have no confidence in the accuracy. The article said 4% of Republicans voted for Hillary in 2016, but that number rose to 11% this year who voted for Biden. That may not sound like a huge shift, but it is, especially in the suburbs of large cities. On the downside, almost 74 million people voted for a man who is:
- A pathological liar
- Someone who insults everyone who disagrees with him or criticizes him seven days a week
- A man who surrounded himself with Convicted Felons
- No Healthcare plan, which is the number one priority for many voters
- A man who broke his promise for a major infrastructure upgrade
- Record Budget and Trade Deficits
- He became Vladimir’s puppet, fulfilling the role of a “Useful Idiot” for the Russians
- His trade war severely damaged many American farmers
- His non-stop attacks on the FBI and his takeover of the Justice Department were a blow to democracy
- A man who never came close to fulfilling his promise of a great health insurance plan. There was no plan and he tried to destroy Obamacare.
- As for Covid-19, Trump was a national disgrace. So far, over a quarter of a million Americans died and there are over 11 million Covid-19 cases. Here’s what Trump did for this national pandemic
- The virus is a Democratic hoax
- The virus is under “Tremendous Control”
- Everything will return to normal by Easter Sunday
- Inject BLEACH as a prevention measure for Covid-19
- If you get the virus, take hydroxychloroquine
- Instead of being a common sense, health & safety logical approach to the pandemic, Trump turned wearing a mask into a constitutional personal freedom issue
- COVID-19 will disappear the day after the election
Trump obviously ignored the science, turned the pandemic into a political issue, and instead of uniting Americans, he divided them by pitting his base against the rest of the country. Even worse, he cares far more about the stock market than so many people getting sick and/or dying.
I’m sure nobody outside of Trump World is surprised by his refusal to acknowledge the loss and his attempt to totally undermine our democracy. Watch carefully to see if any Republicans stand up and put the country and our democracy ahead of their blind loyalty to Donald Trump.

Trump has destroyed long time core philosophies of the Republican Party. Remember when they believed in?
- Reducing the deficit and the debt
- Free Trade / No Tariffs
- Standing up to Russia
- Supporting our NATO allies
- Smaller Government
- Supporting Law Enforcement (the FBI and Justice Department)
- The Constitution
Trump has demolished all of the above and that’s why large numbers of former Republicans will be voting for Biden.
The Republican Party supports everything Trump says, does, or implements. Nobody will dare stand up to him. Even though we’ve seen some tepid criticism from Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse, that is very rare. Whatever Trump wants becomes the latest Republican policies/values until he changes his mind, which could be tomorrow.
The only thing one can count on in the ALL WHITE REPUBLICAN PARTY, is they depend on Hate, Fear, and non-stop Conspiracy Theories. Trump Cult members believe illegal immigrants are going to take away their jobs and move into their neighborhoods. They believe the only thing Democrats want to do is riot, loot, and raise your taxes. They do not understand the BLM movement, they were brainwashed into believing it’s a communist inspired movement.
They also believe every conspiracy theory known to man if it involves President Obama, Hillary, Joe Biden, or Democratic members of the Senate and House. They completely ignore Senators like Lindsey Graham and Cruz who trashed Trump during the primary campaigns as a pathological liar, but now they kiss his butt every day of the week.
Fox and Trump have also brainwashed Trump Cult members into believing LIBERALS are their arch enemy, as well as enemies of America. Does this sound familiar? That’s right, that’s exactly what HItler did in Germany during the 1930’s, blaming every problem Germany faced on the Jews.
Facts, the Truth, Thinking, Logic, and Analysis are not part of Trump World. That’s why millions of Trump Cult members believe wearing a mask during the Covid-19 Pandemic is a Constitutional Issue as opposed to a Safety protocol. And when Trump tells them Covid-19 is disappearing, they will not allow the real numbers of soaring cases and deaths interfere with what they believe.

Intelligent people know that 155 years after the Civil War ended, those who reside in Trump World are still fighting that battle in their minds. Many of their heroes are the Confederate Generals who were literally traitors to America. But in the 21st Century, both Fox and Trump are ramped up, fighting a new Civil War. This one is RED America versus BLUE America. We cannot blame Trump for creating this national divide, because it was there before he was elected. However, Trump is a president who has done everything in his power to exacerbate the divide and he’s been very successful. Both Trump and Fox are currently operating in War Mode. Trump see himself as the leader of Red America and he’s shown only disdain for everyone except his base.
In the 1930s, Hitler blamed every problem facing the German people on the Jews. In 2020, both Trump and Fox have replaced Jews with their new scapegoat, Liberals. They blame liberals for all the problems America is facing. Yes they hate immigrants and people of color, but liberals are at the top of their enemy list. Read just about any Trump World conspiracy theory and the author will almost always blame liberals for whatever issue they are whining about.
In this battle, Trump and Fox shoulder some of the blame for the rise of White Nationalists groups, many of whom are prepared to use violence. Militant Trump supporters are now going to demonstrations with the intent of injuring and/or shooting protesters. In Wisconsin, one of them murdered 2 protesters and wounded a third individual, using an assault rifle. It’s no secret that both the KKK and Nazis love Donald Trump, but it’s getting worse. The Southern Poverty Law Center conducted a recent study which claims a 55% rise in White Nationalist groups since Trump became President.
Our country is in big trouble and I believe it’s very important that Americans understand this national dynamic, which is dividing and endangering America.

Trump’s Cult members across America are facing a major dilemma. For the past 5 months, Trump told them they should not wear masks and gave them several bogus reasons. As a result, many of his cult members became vehement opponents of mask rules, some of them even became violent. Dr. Fauci received numerous death threats on himself, his wife, and his daughters. Large numbers of his supporters turned this from a safety to a constitutional issue. At Trump’s rallies, they were NOT wearing masks.
But now, their Supreme Leader has reversed himself and directed his base to start wearing masks. Here’s their dilemma.
- Will his cult members say you were wrong the past 5 months and criticize their Supreme Leader? Not likely, is it? I’m LOL.
- Will they disobey their Supreme Leader and say I took a firm position against masks, claiming it’s a constitutional issue, and I’m not changing?
- Or, will his loyal cult members obediently reverse their position on masks and become strong supporters of mask regulations and laws?
This is priceless for the millions of Trump Cult members who are in total denial. What will they do?
