The “make it stop” interpretation of the 2020 election

Today I read somewhere that people were motivated to vote for Biden in the hopes of “making it stop.” That got me wondering — what were they trying to stop? The first thought is that they wanted to stop Trump (mean tweets and all that), but they might also have been trying to stop the left’s ongoing tantrum about him.

E.g., “Look, I don’t care all that much, just please stop all the drama!!” It’s like the mother in the grocery store who gives in to the wailing brat who wants a cookie. “Okay, fine, here’s a cookie. Will you please shut up!?”

A repeat Biden v. Trump election in 2024 would be a national nightmare, and a disaster for the country and the world. But I’m hoping for something better. Half of G.O.P. Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind, Poll Finds. And it’s becoming obvious that the left is abandoning Biden. That trend will only accelerate as the media stops covering for that moron.

At this point, I’m hoping for DeSantis on the Republican side. I have no idea who to hope for on the Democrat side. It would be wonderful if it was Tulsi Gabbard, but that’s not going to happen.

The lovely thing about a DeSantis v Gabbard contest is that while I would have a preference, I’d be fine with either choice. I’ve never felt that way about any election in my lifetime.

    Polls didn’t accurately capture Trump’s appeal in 2016. I’m not so sure they are reliable now. Trump may be slipping at the moment but he’s far from being out.

    Would you feel the same if Joe Manchin and/or Krysten Sinema were Democrat presidential candidates?

    Not that it would be possible nor good for the country but it would be VERY interesting to see the outcome of a Trump v Obama election. I suspect that would drive voter participation to an all-time high! The media would go absolutely ballistic during the lead up to election day! šŸ˜‰
