Why everyone got the election wrong

The elites never saw it coming, and there is a reason for that.

Why did Biden and the Democrats and the Media get it so wrong? Simple. They massively overestimated the importance of the Coronavirus among the general population. And they massively underestimated the importance of the economy.

They could not understand just how much the working people and small businesses of America appreciated Trump’s calls to re-open the economy, and his promises not to allow another lockdown.

The Liberal elites failed to understand how much Americans love their FREEDOM, and that they are willing to pay almost any price for it. For example: Americans are willing to tolerate levels of gun violence and firearm-related death (homicide, suicide and accidents) that no other civilized country would tolerate, all in the name of freedom and “rights.”

The national sport, football, is a violent game that leaves its players with permanent head trauma and brain injury. No big deal. Healthcare and the ability to see a doctor whenever you want — without having to worry about going broke — is not something that exists in the US. People understand that if you are poor or working class, you may just have to die younger than the rich folk. And if you need to have your brain popped like a chocolate covered cherry playing defensive line, or go risk death in a far away desert in order to pay for your college education, then so be it.
