[WND] In the wake of Joe Biden's alleged victory in the 2020 election, the pundit class has already produced scores of articles headlined something along the lines of "How Joe Biden Won the Election."
What the authors of these articles have in common is that none of them has a clue or, if they do, they know better than to say what they know out loud. Regardless of the final outcome, Biden will have gotten 10 million more popular votes than Hillary did in 2016 or Obama did in 2012.
Biden needed every one of those votes, real or manufactured, because President Trump got nearly 9 million more votes than he did in 2016, and Trump's increase was grown organically.
In 2016, many people voted for Trump to keep Hillary out of the White House. After four years of observing his performance, they voted for Trump because he was Trump. Yet in a match-up between the Republicans' best candidate since Reagan and the Democrats' worst candidate since forever, Biden got more popular votes and the illusion, at least, of more electoral votes.
Yes, the COVID-driven mechanics swelled the Democrats' wholesale vote gathering, but what drove the Biden vote were two phenomena — hatred and ignorance. Nothing else explains how a senile old pedophile who could not attract a thousand people to a rally could inspire 76 million people to vote for him. |
