I figured the outcome of this election would be one of three things:
Harris wins decisively
Harris wins by the skin of her teeth after a couple weeks of recounts and lawsuits
Trump wins by the skin of his teeth after a couple weeks of recounts and lawsuits, and maybe a riot
I didn’t really consider the fourth option because Trump’s never won the popular vote before and it seemed like there was more excitement for Harris than Biden, at least up until the last month. So I’m actually blindsided by the fact that it turned out to be:
Trump wins decisively
He didn’t do any better than he ever has, it’s just that nobody showed up for Harris.
Edit: plus the fact that the R’s seem to have every branch of government. This really couldn’t have gone much worse
