In a election turnout like we’ve never seen. Sure Trump lost and they lost Georgia but both of those are directly linked to how horrible a person and candidate he is. The did well down ballots. MSM kept the race as close as it could with its coverage of the “riots” - those scared the hell out of a lot of people.
