What exactly is nutty?
I was watching coverage from "The Young Turks" and CNN live election night and both their commentary and demeanor was indicative of a clear Trump victory. The Young Turks in particular looked as though they were on the verge of an emotional collapse even greater than the one in 2016.

I don't watch TYT so I can't comment there, but I was switching between CNN and Fox on election night, I did not see a "verge of an emotional collapse" from either network that night. When Fox called AZ for Biden that night, Trump threw a tantrum at Fox. Did you miss this?
The beginning of the real "emotional collapse" was seen the following morning when Biden's leads starting pilling in as more and more votes were counted.
Trumpers go back further than we think.

It’s true that on election night it looked like Trump was in a much stronger position than he really was. But if you had been following various state laws as far as when they can start counting what type of votes, there wasn’t a reason to be concerned. It was known that Michigan and Pennsylvania were not going to count most of their absentee ballots until after the in person votes, which which would cause a red mirage in those states. There were even some articles in places like 538.com warning people of the red mirage and the blue shift that would come after once these states started counting their absentee ballots.
Really the results went exactly as predicted in that respect.

There's a lot to be said about the legacy of Trump in the context of his opposition. I for one became a pretty political person due to the Trump Campaign. As he grew and gathered support during his presidential bid, he revealed a lot about his character. The mocking of a disabled reporter early on stuck with me for a long time. He came off as a bully, a jerk, and incredibly thin-skinned. His comments on women, all of it - he just seems like a bad person.
Because of that, I'm sure I'm not the only one who got into politics in opposition of someone so degrading and horrible. Someone may have heard or read about the things he's said and done and thought "Yo what the ****?" and then gotten involved.
