Is lingering trauma from 2020 a big factor this year?

Oh absolutely. This is in dispute?

Anyway, vibecession is a great way to put it. The vibes are just bad; simple as. I find myself, emotionally, caring remarkably little about this election, even though I know it is objectively extremely important that Biden win and will do everything in my power to help that happen. Even my Trumpy acquaintances seem weirdly demoralized and unconcerned, and those people normally treat everything with about the degree of urgency of a Nancy Pelosi SMS message. Bad vibes!

This won’t work when it comes to younger voters. Younger voters don’t know anything before Trump. When Covid hit, they were just kids. Trump was a figure in the distance.

I don't think this election will be decided by voters who were born in 2002-2006, but I could very well be wrong!

If it's close enough it could be decided by just about anything under the sun, in a Beshear vs. Bevin sort of way.
