Neither side offered a “positive” outlook for America. Red warned of the “darkening of America” with demographic changes translated into BLM/Antifah/Hispanic gang violence and massive wealth transfers from Whites to minorities. Blue warned of government takeover by Fascism, white supremacists etc. with loss of basic freedoms, denial of access to basic health care, housing etc. for tens of millions of Americans who aren’t part of the Stock Market winners Trump uses to measure “success”.
FEAR has always been weaponized by BOTH sides in our electoral processes but never to the extent and with the success we have seen in the past year.
