Eagle,
Only god knows how many Trump supporters would have been infected through Mass Rallies and unsafe gatherings! There certainly was unsafe gatherings on both sides but sections of Trump supporters took things to another level !
Regarding your other point about the closeness of the race and the Covid effect, I like to add the following comments.
Within the context of the 2016 elections, I don’t see the 2020 election as a closely won race! exciting and nail biting YES but NOT close once the full results were out.
Trump is on record numerous times describing his 2016 win over Hilary as a “Land Slide” “Massive Win” etc etc., He won by 306 Electoral College votes. It was an impressive and unexpectedly decisive win, no question about it.
In 2020 the vote in some Swing States were measured in the thousands but if we use Trumps own yardstick for a “Massive Success” Biden’s margin of victory was even more impressive. E.g. Biden won the crucial 3 golden states Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota by a margin almost 3 times larger than Trump’s wining margin back in 2016 (and that’s not to even mention the 5.5 m margin in Biden’s popular vote despite Trump increasing his 2020 vote by many millions).
So IMO, The Biden victory by any measure was nothing short of Decisive and Impressive.
Now the ball is in Biden’s court, let’s see what his administration is all about.
