The notion that a single person who voted for a half-literate moron like Trump cares about "merit" is a joke.
The MAGA movement is built on the idea that merit doesn't matter. The main qualification is white maleness, but if you're a dumbass, bonus!

Oh well
None/few of them think they pulled the level for the less meritorious person. They legit conflate their entitlement and bigoted expectations w merit.
It's not just that they think white maleness matters more than merit. They actively hate people who have merit.

It’s hindsight, but i do wish Harris and Walz would have played up the cowardice rampant in the GOP on every level. Fear of a trans 12 year old. Fear of the smart, black President. Fear of their Dear Leader. And so on.
It’s not “weird,” it’s pathetic.
When they are on top despite their lack of qualifications and skill, they shrug and callously say “sorry, life’s not fair.” When they are forced to compete they lose on merits (and lack thereof) and this is all their way of crying “it’s not fair!!!!!!” but doing so sincerely.
