“Trumpism” does not end with Trump. Conservatives will spend the next 4 years propagandizing and picking someone more charming than Trump who spews the same bullshit. Also a Biden presidency is DOA if we don’t flip the senate in the January runoff election
Conservatives are good at long cons. Remember they have been trying to alter politics for decades. They will spend the next four years working on voter suppression and gerrymandering tactics (and targeting big tech) while liberals and moderates get comfortable bc Trump is gone
Those millions of people who voted for Trump again this election did so for a variety of reasons, including racism, classism, religion, and homophobia... conservatives will exploit these issues AS WELL AS child sex trafficking via QAnon conspiracy theories for the next few years
Abroad, Trumpism is fascism/populism. This is a global trend we are seeing in Brazil, Turkey, Hungary, etc. Criminalizing dissent, demonizing media, dehumanizing others, ignoring the law...if he was more charming he could have gotten away with more. Remember that in 4 years
what I THINK will happen if we do not flip the senate in January:
Moscow Mitch will do what he did to Obama and lead the senate to block any meaningful legislation. People who barely read or pay attention to politics will be goaded into voting for a charming & worse republican

Also there are some important things Biden can do without congressional approval, like restoring over 125 environmental rules that Trump has reversed/weakened. He can reassure foreign allies that America is dedicated to fighting climate change, etc.
Anyways, this long nightmare is not over. Please don’t get complacent. Don’t let someone who does not pay attention to global politics and history act like a Biden presidency and Trump presidency are the *exact* same.
I’m talking about all of this and more in a new episode of Lexual Says, dropping next week. But I couldn’t resist letting the chopper sing just once before I enjoy the rest of my weekend
