Indeed. I honestly didn't even pay attention to his campaign. Firstly, I'm not American and dislike the way that whatever goes on in America is effectively 'world news' due to America's persisting albeit declining hegemony; secondly, I avoid the MSM as much as possible because of their sheer bias that seems insufferably bad since 2016 when these people were radicalized by Trump's 'impossible' and 'rigged' victory. What's more, the anti-Trump nonsense was just a microcosm of their wider anti-White hatred rather than legitimate criticism. They obviously wouldn't have said a tenth of what they had if Trump was, say, a black woman.

He obviously deserves legitimate criticism, but that doesn't come from the MSM who have no nuance whatsoever. These people are upset when he shakes someone's hand, they're upset when he doesn't. They were 'anti-vax' in 2020 whinging about how Trump was rushing the vaccine in time for the election and that 'Trump's vaccine' can't be trusted, and they're ardently 'pro-vax' (and the same damn vaccines!) in 2021. They were 'pro-lockdown' when it came down to non-Leftist protests and 'anti-lockdown' when it came to BLM.

Regardless, I very much doubt I would have voted for him in 2020. Normally I'd be A3P or one of the groups rightward of the Republicans, who are far too liberal for my tastes. The Republican mainstream are only very mildly less insufferable than the Democrats, but the sheer amount of nonsense coming from their ranks is similarly half-witted. 'Civil war if they come for our guns', 'Molon labe!', 'Democrats are the real racists!', 'Israel is our greatest ally and the beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East', etc. It's not much more intelligent than the Democrat 'race is a social construct', 'men and women are a social construct', 'Antifa is just an idea', '2016 was rigged but 2020 was the most secure election ever' nonsense. If Trump attacked Biden from the Left on law and order, then that's just another reason to get off the 'Trump train'.
