If your side loses, will you blame the American electorate?

I see a lot of rhetoric from both the left and right along the lines of "Trump/Biden is only viable because half of America is stupid, brainwashed, and entitled".

If your candidate loses, will that confirm your negative view of the American public you think?

I think for me, I already have a negative view of large swaths of the American public and the outcome won't necessarily do that. I generally think we have a lot of people who make no effort to even try to be  a good, informed citizen and play contrarian just for the heck of it. I also think too many Americans don't realize just how lucky we are to have this system and be this wealthy as a Country - these people complaining about how life sucks because they're a broke worker yet they just came back from a 2 week vacation to Jamaica and went to dinner at a fancy restaurant yesterday really annoy me.

I have quite a negative view of my own age cohort too - regardless of our politics I find us to be quite illiberal and entitled. Gucci bags and daily Starbucks are not a right. I blame a lot of that on social media, but also young people around me blindly giving hours of their time to social media and just seeing everything they believe.
