Did "House of Cards" embolden the Dems in 2020?

I've been binging on "House of Cards" for the last 2 weeks. Gotta say, some of the best acting I've seen in years.

I'm at the part where the election is in flux - no clear winner. Lots of behind the scene arm-twistings and dishonorable shenanigans to get their folks across the finish line - all at the 11th hour and beyond. I think it's remarkable how they mirror the cloak and dagger dirty deeds of the Dems in 2020. Did they get their playbook from Kevin Spacey?
