At what point do many Biden voters slap their heads and mutter, "My God, what did I do?" .

By the way, I can’t really read this. It looks like Wisconsin was the number one region for that query, can we tell how many times?

The point at which they forget what an unmitigated cunt his predecessor was?
Seriously, it was a tale of two shitties. The lesser shit won.

Yes, but this one is senile, wants to raise my taxes, destroy the energy sector and lockdown the country.
The economy is struggling to come back, although the jobless rate looked better today (6.9%)
Joe's got a plan for everything. I want to see what he is going to do better than Trump to handle COVID in the winter. I want results, not "I'm nicer than the other guy". Very soon, political talk will be meaningless.
I watched Trump be pretty effective, even while being hamstrung with a Russia Hoax that has less evidence behind it, than the current round of election fraud. I watched Trump be impeached on purely political grounds.
Now, it looks like it may be Joe's turn in the barrel. A guy who was first elected to the senate, who constantly said his opponent was too old for the job.
Going to be interesting. There will be NO honeymoon.

Politically, you're right. With the House being so tight, and with a Senate presumably held by the GOP, he's going to have a rough go of it.
Socially, I disagree. The press and our betters in the entertainment industry are slobbering all over this, and it'll last for a while. John Legend was singing "Georgia On My Mind" last night. We can expect another 2-4 months of this fellating.

All those people who complained about Obama's lack of class in making occasional comments during Trump's presidency are going to freaking love how Trump takes a back seat during Biden's.

Unfortunately, I do not for a moment believe that the world has seen the end of Trumpism in the the USA. It bears too many similarities to Argentina's Peronism to go away quietly or permanently. The past four we have been introduced to its populism. We barely got a glimpse at its inherent authoritarianism. That will come in time.
In any case I am glad the loathesome son of bitch, Trump, is out of office.
Elbows up!

No, that is true. It will take many years to remove that odor, and there is a very real risk that in doing so we will lean too far in the opposite direction.
And greetings to you, Renauda. Believe it or not, I thought of you recently; would've liked to hear your voice through all of this.

Just another tedious expression of hatred by a normal human towards Trump. But I think you underestimate the right. What's your preferred solution? Populism is a word I've learned to be wary of. Lots of us haven't given much thought to the relative weight of it between the two parties and their ideas.

Greetings to you as well. This election has been more than just a little entertaining from where I sit albeit the lens through which I view it is quite different from you and your compatriots. Suffice to say, I chose to wait until a winner was announced before making comment.
I agree there is a risk that elements in the Democrat camp pushing too far the other direction will further exacerbate the division that characterizes the US at the present. There are fringe elements in every political party the world over that need to be reigned in or face expulsion. With teh Democrats much of this is because those fringe elements (or better, Jacobins) have abandoned working class folks and issues and taken up instead with various subculture and identity interests that have in varying degrees at one time or another faced discrimination or have been excluded. As an aside, this revisionism is not exclusive to the Democrat Party but to the Left pretty much everywhere in the world at present. It has become acute in the US because its political tradition does not accommodate a third party alternative to govern the country.
The Democrat Party been thus increasingly divided against itself since before the Reagan era. It briefly united under Clinton only split again after G W Bush's defeat of Gore. It has remained split ever since. The DNC will have to face this fact during the next four years and rebuild itself as a firmly moderate centrist party if it ever hopes to compete with its opposite number in years to come. I am optimistic that if nothing else this election has laid bare that fact to the DNC and that it will work to erase the damaging effects that the Jacobins in its midst have and are causing.

Funny how you see "Trumpism"as you like to call it authoritarian, when the truth is the left are the ones being authoritarians.

Actually, fascist.
I don't remember any Trump supporters threatening the White House receptionist with never working again.

Guess again.
Schumer made the comment today, that if the Dems could take the two Senate seats in Georgia, the Demonrats could change the world.

Chumps
There are over 75 million people who voted for Biden.
If you prefer, you can rephrase as “there are 75 million people who voted against Trump.”
