If it were not for the pandemic I'm convinced the Trump turnout for this election would have produced results rivaling Reagan in 1984. Even with a pandemic he was able to drive more voters to the polls on election day than any point in American history.

I won't comment on whether the US is red or blue or purple.

However, it's quite clear that the Trump administration specifically and the Republican party in general have been engaged in actively suppressing voters in general, and the democratic party's electorate in specific.

We're talking about an administration that, while fully aware that there was a disproportionate and significant amount of pro-Democratic party voters who depended on mail-in ballots to cast their vote, they did their best to:

* sabotage the USPS's ability to process and ship mail up to the election,

* enforce rules refusing to account for all mail-in ballots,

* and prop up their own electorate to vote in person to avoid the risk of their votes being filtered out by their sabotage campaign.

We're talking about a campaign designed to filter out votes to competing candidates, hoping to skew election results in your favor.

This is not how a party that values basic democratic values operates.
