It gets a bit off topic. I'm of the opinion that Trump was basically a "none of the above," a "Fuck you!" that succeeded, surprising everyone including him. He wasn't (and isn't) the savior many on the right wished and still wish that he were. He was easily co-opted by the "real" (swamp, deep state) government.

And when Biden was approved, Harris (even less popular than alternatives), was worked in since he'd promised a black woman Veep. The system is rigged top-to-bottom, beginning-to-end. We aren't going to vote our way out of this.
