Floyd stupid killing mobilized all the socialists and suckered in a lot of moderates to vote against the perceived racist, which he is not, and gave the stupid left credibility to the naive who, suddenly showed up to vote. If Floyd did not happen, he would have won even with the pandemic because too many stupid people vote more against who they hate as opposed to who would have done a better job. Obviously he was way better than Biden is but he lost because people were fooled by the "friendly uncle image" of Biden which is obviously incorrect, versus the image on an asshole which Trump is at times.
The media unfair coverage mostly lost it for Trump. About 20% of the voters knew nothing of Hunter Biden's escapades and would have voted differently had they know, according to polls, in swing states. How could that happen in the US?!
