And like, idk if they’re treating it as a mandate because it’s cope and they want it to be, or if they actually believe that. Bc like, the only mandate was that people fucking hate Joe Biden.

Yeah, but you gotta remember these people are out there reading the economist and NY times and all that shit. So while probably on some level they do want to, they also probably don't have a clue. Like eventually Hillary Clinton who goes around giving speeches about how we need seize the means of production back from China and fully understands imperialism still couldn't pull her head out of her ass long enough to beat Trump. At a certain point being up at that level disconnects you from the people; It has to, or else you'll realize you're the villain.
