I think they were. I have liberal friends that lost their jobs during the lockdown in our state and blamed our (D) governor for it. Maybe it's a stretch to think they'd vote Trump but who the fukk knows. It's a different world right now. I wouldn't write off what your theory.NBC projecting Ernst wins in Iowa.
This election was supposed to be a referendum on the neo-fascist GOP, but Dems are getting washed on all levels.
I just don't get it. Maybe those people who said voters would punish Dems for "wanting to keep the country locked down to hurt Trump" during the early days of the pandemic were right.
Also I know some people that were scared about the rioting in their cities as well as talks of defunding the police as well as restricting firearms to the point of cutting into gun rights beyond a simple assault weapons bans. I know defunding the police doesn't mean what it sounds like, but not everyone realizes that. A lot of people bought into Trump's "law and order" rhetoric because they were scared and were arming themselves and didn't like the idea of losing what they perceived as police protection as well as some gun rights.
No one is talking about the bolded but it was absolutely at least a small factor.
these pollsters. These polls don't work anymore in the Trump era.
if the midwest is permanantly lost, we're fukked. joe was supposed to appeal to them, but maybe he should've doubled down with klob or gretch or some other midwest VP...or sherrod brown should've fukking run, we're fukked in the senate either way, would've rather lost his seat to win the presidency
