George Carlin said it long ago. “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

Trump's "economy" wrought environmental havoc and added around $8 trillion to the national debt (quite an accomplishment in just four years!). The ReThuglican ideology now insists on more tax breaks for the wealthy (and corporations), a policy that has been put into practice for four decades (beginning with the "sainted" Reagan) and created the greatest wealth gap in our nation's history.

It is not simply the economy, though. It is the relentless attacks on the crisis at the southern border, civil rights, and (of course) reproductive rights that will bring out Trump supporters. Yes, many of them are ignorant and stupid, but many of the people who SHOULD support Biden are simply too "stupid" to recognize the imminent danger of a Trump dictatorship.

One final thought: ReThuglicans keep insisting that Biden is senile and/or otherwise cerebrally incapacitated, but has anyone listened to Trump lately? He grows increasingly incoherent, and this is above and beyond the narcissism, paranoia, and messianic complex that are core parts of his psychological make-up.
