1. The top story almost has to be that four years of chaos and death resulted in almost zero change.

Trump essentially lost zero support.

Only by running a near-flawless campaign targeting the right spots (Arizona? Seriously?) was Biden in a position to pull this out.

3. I rather suspect that the country *did* strongly reject Donnie, but Donnie cheated

So that even if it wasn't enough for him to win, it makes it look closer than it was.

That said, I still think the popular vote will be big for Biden once everything, particularly California, is counted.

I think they sat on enough ballots to steal Florida and probably other states like Georgia as well, maybe North Carolina too. Jury is still out on the states not yet called, but surely there's usps shenanigans there as well.
