Just a country full of stupid people or people who couldn’t stand another minute with this want-to-be dictator and fool in charge.

it's clear by your question that you assume an awful lot

c. I think people will vote for what they believe is in their best interest and I won't hold it against them....can't say that for a lot of people that I know

If Biden wins and the Dems take the Senate (very likely), why would anyone assume it's anything other than normal pendulum swinging?

In 2008, Obama won, the dems controlled the house, and had a fillibuster-proof majority n the senate.

Then starting in 2010, for 10 years, a red wave swept the whole country. Now, probably thanks to trump's antics but only because of that, it's likely to go the other way.

Normal pattern...

Correct. Everyone said in 2008 that the GOP was done, a fringe party of nothing but old, rich white guys...then starting only 2 years later, the GOP opened up a can of whoop-azz.

It never lasts forever.

An interesting discussion could be had, in which the premise was that in both the 2008 and 2020 elections, the country was facing crises which the entire media unfairly (in my opinion, obviously) blamed an incumbent republican president, and the democrats used that BS to gain power.
