They can only recite one instance of banning Chinese from coming in (and not effectively anyways) as a win. But they ignore us leading the world with infections and deaths.

Other countries freak out when they have a small spreading event of a dozen of people and we don't even blink our eyes at thousands of infections a day and hundreds of death each day.

Which means that all of Trump's failures will be touted as triumphs and the times when he did anything that didn't turn out to be a complete disaster will be described as successes that only he could has accomplished.

His corruption and incompetence will be ignored and I'll be surprised if any mentions that he was impeached.

It's going to be the Bizarro World convention from Hell.

I just hope enough people wakes up from this nightmare. Unfortunately, the Trumpers around me still haven't. They do seem much quietly than 4 years ago though. I hope enough of them come to their sense and stay home at least.

Their only campaign line seems to be "Yeah, we had a great economy - 6 months ago! Re-elect Trump for more of that!" It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue!

They have nothing. Nothing except more division and ugliness.

Trump is not responsible for lack of leadership during a pandemic.

Trump is not responsible for showing no leadership during the protests and rioting in the streets. It's easier to blame someone else. Trump would prefer to blame Joe Biden.

I've driven into a ditch. It sucks, but you call the tow guy and all is mostly well.

Might want to change into a ditch to over a cliff.

They refused to take responsibility for every other time they drove it into the ditch, too. It's the same, old shit. Just like after Reagan. Just like after the Bushes.
