This is America, Brit. No peasants here as in Merry Ol' England.
If you understood the Constitution, you'd understand 1) More people voted against Hillary than for her and 2) she lost because the United States is against the tyranny of a single, highly populated state dictating to the other 49 states.

LOL Agreed. Seriously, Trump and people like Truth Detector and Teflon Don have a lot in common: They are completely delusional about reality. Even with Ivanka constantly nagging him, Trump is unlikely to do more than memorize 2-3 talking points. He'll just wing the rest.

Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

He's now promising to do the same things he promised four years ago. The stupid like to hear it over and over again. They are his base, but Trump can't win with just his base no more than Biden can win with only his base. Both need a majority of the 40% of voters who are independent.
IMO, the Independents are not going to be persuaded by promises to "Lock her up" or banning guns. They'll more likely be persuaded by who is going to do the least about of damage to the nation. That's where the US is right now; voting for the lesser of two evils in our political elections.

Well, Biden was no big deal until he reached far out for a vice-presidential candidate like McCain did. It has a bit of the same effect for some. Biden was already as close as you get to being president without being it and he is actually versed in political matters. He won't be like Trump thinking he can do fascist things and have to be reminded he's not an Emperor.
