I am weirdly pollyannish about Harris/Dem X versus Trump. The "cheapfake/selective video" convo fits better with Harris - bc she makes little news, all people see of her are the wackiest/loopiest quotes.
The basic "you lied to us and said Biden could handle it" problem is bigger.
I do think Obama’s election led to Trump, but not thru any fault of his own, much less a debate performance. I just thing WAY too many Americans were WAY too salty about having a brilliant Black Pres and so had to pick the angriest, meanest, most vengeful fucker.
