If there are so few MAGAs then how did he get elected?
Did he cheat?

The Orange Mussolini always cheats whenever he can. However, the 2024 election, like the 2020 election was decided more than anything else by the Covid virus. The old saying is, "People vote their pocketbooks." Or as James Carville famously said, "It's the economy, stupid."

The economy was humming along in 2019 and it appeared that Trump would win in 2020 in a cake walk. Along came the Covid virus and the economy was placed in a deep freeze. His handling of the crisis certainly didn't help his cause, either.

Just as the economists predicted, as we brought the economy out of its induced coma, there was serious inflation. This was the death knell for Biden and the Democrats. It didn't help that Biden should have stuck to his promise of being a one-term President and then was forced to abdicate and bring in -- gasp! -- a Black Woman of Asian descent.

We love to believe that we are in charge of the Earth. Viruses have been around for 2 billion years. They will be around for another billion years or so until the Earth is too hot to sustain life as our Sun expands past the orbit of Venus.
