And that's the normalcy talking point his team has made him ride on. Without the virus, Floyd still dies, and more people realize Democrat-run cities and states need a drop of red in their blue thanks to riots, and Trump still looks like a hero when he comes to crush them. From that, his ""landslide"" becomes a more apparent landslide, as Biden would have gotten steamrolled because if 4 years of Trump bad + current virus is getting old, then without the latter, people would really like to tell the Dems to shove it. The icing on the cake in this alternate timeline would be Trump reaching the 400+ EVs from replacing Ginsburg and crushing the Democrat base.The Democratic party is basically down to a single issue: Trump's mishandling of the COVID virus killed 200K Americans. That's all they have left.
That's why no matter what Trump does, from rallies to actual fucking peace agreements, CNN screams "BUT NO MASKS!"
I have far-lefty friends that are perfectly fine being under lockdown until a vaccine is not only found, but everyone gets it. Hell, they're already convincing themselves that they aren't under lockdown because the government allows them to go outside.
I was talking to an acquaintance in California, and he literally wrote me with a straight face that California isn't under lockdowns.
I pointed to the CDC stats that literally 1 in 1000 people under 49 that catch the virus actually die from it, and when I linked them to the CDC website they accused me of "repeating Fox News talking points."
TL;DR - If Biden has ANY chance of winning, it's COVID now.
But even then in our present, Biden is running on the Obama "real change" mantra but for COVID. No one knows what this guy will do if he gets into office, but they want the stranglehold to end somehow, and this walking corpse says he'll do something about it.
However, to compare Trump to the one term presidents and faults I can name off the top of my head:
Hoover: Exacerbated the dire situation in his time (Great Depression) by making public works, which called for more taxes. The some of the ones who ate ass into poverty lived in the Hoovervilles they built. And because of all the deep shit he was in, he grew to hate the presidency.
Trump's all for voodoo magicking the economy into prosperity, a la Neo Roaring Times (a la Calvin Coolidge). And if we're discounting NYC (really gotta move, plus it's more a Blasioville or Cuomoville), there aren't any COVID refugee Trumpvilles. Just the shit bootleg Autonomous Zones. Trump also jokes how nobody should run for president because look at what he has to deal with, but he enjoys it out of love for the country and want to see it prosper again. I still have yet to hear Biden take back that stupid 4 trillion dollar tax increase he or his even stupider team came up for him to say. I remember seeing a post that said if Biden won, the market would drop within the same week. And who knows what stupid shit the radicals will make Biden sign.
Ford and Carter: Really nice dudes, but ineffectual presidents all things considered. Trump gets shit done to the point where he memes about winning so much. Biden's about ready to exit as soon as he gets in. And on Ford, if Kamala ever becomes 47, it's no close race like Gerald and Jimmy, she's getting landslided on if she continues to be an overambitious power chaser.
H. Dubya: Again, really nice dude, but could have done much better for what was supposed to be the continuation of Reagan. Also, "Read my lips: No new taxes." Again, Trump and his black magic. And also again, Biden... Ugh...
