So, I mentioned that I had my mind blown by the polling data that showed 52% of Republican voters believed the QAnon gibberish was real. This indicated basically how far gone many Republican voters are in terms of them living in some fictional universe.
Here's more polling data that indicates that they basically have been horribly misinformed. They polled Democrats and Republicans and asked if Covid 19 was an important issue for the president to address and of course 82% of Democrats answered it was a major issue but only 24% of Republican voters thought it was an issue.
This likely stems from the avalanche of misinformation distributed by Trump and his minions and nutty right wing news media. Trump is rushing around doing rallies because he thinks that's what won him the election last time. Honestly, I do not think this is the case but the people that attend his rallies do not think Covid is a problem so they have no issue with attending.
The giant gap between what many Republican voters believe and what is reality is very troubling and it is why even if Trump is defeated I think we still have to be concerned with what these people will do. Particularly because Trump will incite violence and division and scream at the top of his lungs that the result was rigged...because he has been screaming it is rigged, unless he wins, for months.
If Trump loses he is still going to be president for the rest of November, December, and three weeks into January...outside of issuing himself and his family pardons, he will spend this time fighting the election results and attempting to get the only "army" he has left, wacko militia and QAnon freaks, out on the streets to create as much violence and mayhem as possible.
I do not see us having a good couple of months post election when Trump loses. He is fully against a peaceful transition and there is a group of his supporters that do not want a peaceful transition either.
