I think one main throughline of this election is that the electorate was really unhappy with Biden's performance in office...

But why? His performance has been -overall- very good. The only thing he fumbled was the border, and he corrected that a year ago.

IMHO, they have been bombarded with lies, and some of the excrement stuck.

That also doesn't explain how people that weren't in his base could excuse his felony convictions, his pending trials, his racist remarks, his sexist remarks, his incoherent ramblings, etc. How could anyone "on the fence" be knocked onto the reprehensible side of the fence?

But if people did stay on the couch, then the adage "the people get the government they deserve" will be coming home to roost for the next four years (or more...the convict is better prepared this time, and will have lackeys and stooges in key positions, so who will make him give up power in four years?).
