  Anybody who was already paying attention doesn't need a study to condemn his actions, and the Trump cult doesn't give credence to scientific studies. As far as his chances of winning - I personally did see had a fair shot in 2016, because the issues he was talking about mattered to a lot of people that had been disempowered over the past 8 years. I personally believe in LGBT rights, but it was obvious that there was going to be a horrid backlash from the gloating of projecting a rainbow on the White House. But since being elected Trump has addressed very little of what he campaigned on - the swamp has been further packed, and he's basically golfing and shitposting instead of leading. At this point he's coasting on favorable propaganda from Faux news, and the middle of the country will have that illusion shattered as we blow past 200k deaths.

    I agree with you. In my opinion, it seemed he was extremely likely to win reelection, before covid19 struck. Now, I think those odds have been diminished; the degree to which, though, I am not sure.
