WA (PPP) - Biden +22

[The Mikado]

These polls showing Biden winning by historical numbers in traditionally blue states are very interesting.

And not surprising to me. Democrats haven't hated any Republican candidate this much in a long, long time if ever. In 2016 a lot of them stayed home or protest voted, thinking either he couldn't win or that it wouldn't be so bad if he did. Not so this time.

I'm only 22 so I don't really remember politics from the Bush era, but did Democrats even hate Bush this much?

I probably despised Bush more 2003-2006 than I ever have Trump, but I was pretty plugged in.

W basically gave up and stopped doing anything in 2007. It was also the time Bush hating became cool and I was very much "where the hell were you?"

W was at his worst before 2006 castrated him, but it was only after that that the majority of Americans went all "f**k that guy" about him.

Trump has literally never been more popular than unpopular. People lost their careers criticizing W. People made their careers criticizing Trump. Different dynamic.

Bush was more subtle in how he alienated the people who never voted for him.

Eh. As a non-Christian, I felt massively left out of W's speeches and campaign themes, which were about restoring America's Christian roots. W honestly scared me in ways that Trump didn't in that respect because I 100% feel like I'm not part of the Religious Right's vision of America. Trump never ever mentions Jesus, which helps a lot on that level.
