In the past few days a number of people have sought out my opinion on why Trump lost. They know I have a Ph.D. from Penn State and have taught courses in American Government and Political Parties and Elections at San José State University. They are looking for answers.
Here is my analysis. The Trump campaign needed more white guys in big pickups flying Trump flags and banners that said “Fuck your feelings.” The sad fact is that they just didn’t have enough of those. Also, they needed to drive by Biden supporters and give them the finger more often and curse at them more often. They were quite remiss in that. Finally, they should have attended more rallies without masks. That would have shown their commitment to their candidate. It might also have made a difference if they had stolen a few more Biden yard signs. They stole hundreds, but there were still some out there before election day. It really is the fault of the Trump supporters that their candidate lost by such a wide margin.
I know they must be feeling bad, but, of course, you can probably guess what I think about their feelings.
