They just didn’t care.

No mental eval would’ve made a difference.

The bar has been officially lowered. Just wait and see what the the rethuglicons nominate next.

4. Most Americans have no idea how much they depend on the government

(“Keep your government hands off my Medicare”), so they believe erroneously that it doesn’t matter who is POTUS because it doesn’t effect them directly. Ergo the vote for a tRump.

I remember people here in CA voting for Ah-nold because they thought it would be cool to have his signature on their driver’s license, even though the gov’s signature does not appear on CA drivers’ licenses.

7. Making us hope they'll take a lesson from this.

Yeah, folks. It matters.

What gets me are my dear friends in the far left who still don’t get it that it matters. They know better. They’re educated. But some just want to hold their breath and pretend that 4 years with Biden would be no better than 4 years with Dump. They won’t accept the concept that the revolution will continue either way. But what’s better - saving tens of thousands of your potential comrades, or sacrificing them on the altar of political purity? Fighting in a respite from daily crises, or constantly trying to keep up with exhausting craziness?

6. Trump IS mentally fit

That is our story and we should stick to it. We have the "test" results from Trump himself to prove it.

To state otherwise is to give Trump voters an excuse for his 2020 performance. Trump 2020 is the same as Trump 2016. What changed in 2020 is that he and his anti-science administration were tested.
