You seriously believe Biden won??

 It's hard to tell. But there's no doubt that DT won this one.
 

We're in for interesting times. Should be fun.

Can't argue with that!

 Today's New York Times has a font-page article to the effect that
people don't like Trump but strongly agree with his policies. Maybe
the US population is acquiring a little common sense.

He killed about half a million of them by his mismanagement of the Covid-19 response, and got himself very sick in the process.
His come-back demonstrates that some politicians can fool enough of the people, enough of the time. Common sense doesn't come into it - as John Larkin would know if he had any.
What Trump did do was play up to popular delusions, and launched a few of his own - like immigrants eating people's pets. Karmala Harris couldn't keep a straight face when he threw that nonsense into the "presidential" debate. J.D.Vance got stuck with appearing to take that seriously, which must have been humiliating.
