   Trump did *not* do well — he lost.  He got more votes than any prior   
   candidate   
   for president, incumbent or challenger, but he lost by a big absolute number of   
   votes.  He got a lot of votes because of the huge turnout.   
      
   The real thing that Trump and the Republiscums can't explain is why the   
   Democrats got hammered in down-ballot races, both for Congress and for state   
   legislatures.  For example, in Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, four swing   
   states Biden won despite alleged Democratic "cheating" and "fraud," the   
   Republicans picked up 31, 7 and 17 seats, respectively, in those states' lower   
   houses.  If the Democrats were so good at "cheating" all while not leaving a   
   trace, why didn't extend to down-ballot races?   
      
   There was no "cheating."  Enough voters in those states were just   
   sick-to-fucking-death of asshole Trump.
