Why Donald Trump Lost the 2020 Election

 The daily death toll of a man a minute in the U.S.A. around election time was predictable several months ago. The President’s clumsy response to Covid 19- I rate him as a C- at best, assured that renewed mass infection would occur after people returned to schools and precautionary spacing measures were reduced in the Mid-west and South leading up to election time.

 I predicted the third wave of Covid for October and November  months ago without any difficulty.

 The Presidential attitude eschewing a mask and making jokes such as suggesting injecting antiseptic cleaner as a remedy to kill the virus stimulated numerous red communities to abandon caution in restoring their economies to operation from lockdown. What was needed was a very serious, sober Presidential response about Covid 19 along with role model of mask wearing and soliciting of suggestions for ways to prevent mass infection and keep the economy operating at the same time. Presidential leadership could have at least prompted manufacture of a complete head covering mask that was comfortable and that would allow dangerous during a pandemic era activities like riding public transit to resume. Even activities like manufacturing computers, cars and slaughtering farm animals for food required some sort of safety head-covering manufacture leadership from the President that never occurred.

 President Trump appeared to blow off Covid 19 and the death rate as something of secondary importance to profit and the Dow Jones Industrial average increase. There are between 170,000 and 200,000 new infections each day and even with a .5% death rate the number is consequential. That may be a reason why the President lost the election by six million votes; older people at risk of medical complications and death were likely to be somewhat disinclined to vote for president Trump this time where in 2016 they might have been more concerned about tax cuts for their golden years. Boomers might be the largest demographic in the nation and they have experienced far higher than average number of deaths from the virus during the pandemic. President Trump’s attitude seemed like callous indifference to Covid risk compared to economics. That is just a perception that some have and that may have cost Donald Trump the 2020 election although he may be the only fellow in the nation that still doesn’t know he lost the election.

 President Trump has said the election was “100% rigged” against him. He would not be the first American to learn that society has ad hoc networks as well as established ones that can rig the economic game against a single individual. Crank conservatives would dismiss the idea explaining that the President is a lazy loser and no one or organization ever interferes with anyone’s economic self-determination; the President has no one besides himself to blame.

If there is a Kweer Klux Clan subverting free speech throughout social media that worked against President Trump to actualize a plan for global political control for sympathetic sponsoring corporate billionaires who would know? One trouble is that President Trump is himself a member of the global corporate Plutocratic billionaire class despite his claims to populism as evidenced by slaughtering the ecosphere, drilling oil and subverting clean air and water standards in the U.S.A. There are concrete ceilings beneath which the enterprising individual may bump his head in futility to the amusement of the powerful.

 At any rate the election loss demonstrated the strength of the Electoral College in preventing corruption of the general presidential election; with fifty states independently counting votes there is little chance of a system wide failure of integrity. To fool the public on the vote count in fifty states would be very challenging. Fifty state Supreme Courts would need to be persuaded of the dishonesty of election proceedings in their jurisdiction following lawsuits brought locally, and not a single state has found substantive evidence of mass voter frauds or election official counting deceit so far.
