America Would Be Better Off If Trump Won in 2020

Ed Kilgore, Narrative scribbler at New York magazine, a Voice of the Crust.
An extended disquisition on how stupid Democrats were to rig the election to put two incompetents in charge of the Federal government, all while blaming Trump. “You know, maybe if we hadn’t messed with the bull, we wouldn’t be getting the horns so badly right now.”
That’s what Narrative scribblers do: Nothing is ever ort side’s fault, nothing that happened ever happened because of something we did, shit just happened and we wish it had happened on somebody else’s watch, or at least so that we could paint it that way.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE: Democrats Lost Voters on Transgender Rights. Winning Them Back Won’t Be Easy. (Charles Homans/New York Times) Damn, I know those voters are around here somewhere, what could have happened to them?
YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE: From Science to Diversity, Trump Hits the Reverse Button on Decades of Change (Peter Baker/New York Times) Change just happens, and Trump is picking the Wrong Side of History and screwing things up for everybody, the swine.
