Unpopular opinion about to be voiced here:
Trump lost the election.
Who says he didn't lose the election? Trump and a handful of disingenuous Trump sycophants. Is voter fraud real? Yes it is but not on nearly a large enough scale to have changed the result of this election. Refusing to verify signatures on a few hundred ballots isn't going to swing a district that Trump lost by tens of thousands in his favor let alone upturn an election that he lost by 74 electoral votes.
But how could Trump lose?
He had a perfect crisis in COVID that he bumbled from the get go. Unfortunately, COVID19 is a real global pandemic and compared to the flu is deadlier. At first, he blocked people coming from China which was a brilliant move decried by Liberals as being racist. Imagine he put the country in lockdown right then before any other country. He would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives ( they might have died from other means but they couldn't have claimed COVID) and put egg on the faces of the same Liberals now that are angry that people don't use pieces of porous cotton to protect against a virus so small that it can penetrate an N95 mask.
Instead, he barely mustered a half assed response leading to the infection ballooning to its current completely out of control state. This is right before the vaccines are available on a national level and should have been a badge of success for his operation Warp Speed but he also effed that up. His pathetic personal statements (uv light, drinking bleach, I know as much about disease as the doctors do...etc) were further weakened by him throwing raw meat to his QAnon/Infowars base that the whole thing was a hoax. When he finally got COVID, showing this same base that the disease was in fact real, he could have milked it for all it was worth and won a bunch of sympathy right before the election but he dropped the ball on that one, too.
Trump was awful for the second amendment and to say otherwise means you're blind to the simple facts. His list of antigun accomplishments are a bumpstock ban, calling for the ban on suppressors and the reclassification of braces for ITAR. What has he done for the 2nd amendment? The only thing I can think of was indirect when he installed two justices. Arguably, what any Republican would have done in his place.
Will Biden go after our second amendment?
Absolutely and we should do everything we can to fight to preserve it. These things include demonstrating, donating to real orgs like GOAL and Comm2A and finding and supporting a solid leader for our next president with a bona fide gun rights past, not a reality TV huckster from New York City with a CCW as his credentials in spite of multiple public statements supporting an AWB and mag capacity limits. This is how I believe we can ensure Biden has his one term and fails at passing any gun control. Rallying behind a pyramid scheme peddler who lost handedly to a half brain dead, serial kid stroker isn't going to further our cause. /Rant off and flame away
