Meh, I think it will mostly blow up in bubbles which were already very Biden-leaning anyway. Conversely, in right-wing bubbles, Biden's answers on court packing, the GND and antifa will be blowing up as we speak.
I think the bigger story is that Trump came across as unhinged and obnoxious, derailed the entire debate and didnt win it. He blew the biggest chance to turn this race around that was left on the calendar. This, coupled with his super consistent deficit in the polls, means that he has to be the clear underdog now, irrespective from any controversies over an akward comment on Proud Boys or white supremacy.
I really wish we had more honest coverage from everybody about his refusal to commit to a peaceful transition of power.
He's actively trying to delegitimize the election, basically admitted he's trying to rush Barrett so he can have a favorable person to rule on the supreme court in his ballot objections, and won't say he will peacefully transition.
Trump's other stuff might be dangerous in the long term, where he emboldens white supremacists, but this is the thing he is saying that is truly, 100% dangerous and totally out of step with literally every other politician in the country. It's the thing that if he carries through, can legitimately sink the whole country.
