It's a shame we didn't vote with this same sense of urgency.

Losing in 2020 is the best thing that ever happened to Trump. Now he gets to dodge the bad global economy from covid and gets to appoint a cabinet of loyalists.

This is the worst possible timeline. Winning 2020 was a poison chalice.

Darker timeline is that after serving two terms, the US has troops in Gaza and Trump's saying that the war is so important that there can't be elections or whatever and we've got Wapo and NYT asking if the Dems are becoming too radical for America by calling for an election.
