    Jesus, centrist Democrats really imagine that people were that happy because Biden won?

    Fuck no. People were happy because Trump lost.

      From the article:

      I would estimate that a very tiny percentage of the joy was attributable to specific policy objectives of the incoming Biden administration and that virtually all of it reflected relief that the bad man was gone. The 81,268,924 voters who pulled the lever for Biden were united by the belief that Donald Trump’s presidency was a civic emergency

        Yes, I read the article. The headline is not consistent with the article, nor is it consistent with reality.

      Relieved Trump lost. I’ll be relieved if he loses again and will vote for whomever isn’t Trump again too though. No matter what.
