Also, despite the fact that he is a criminal, a racist, a misogynist, denies climate change and pretty much exclusively pursues policies contrary to the interests of ordinary citizens.
I think you meant to comment on OP’s post. If you ask me, I’d say he rather belongs in jail. Given the countless serious cases that have been and are being brought against him, it’s inexplicable to me that he managed to get around jail time - and is even a presidential candidate instead.
And there will be people who consider themselves good people who wont vote and will just let it happen because they can’t be bothered or think they’re above it.
Difference is that a good number of Dem voters saw Biden’s issues and understood it’s a choice between those issues and a fascist that’ll deal the death blow to the moribund US democracy. Trump voters are just cooked.
You get one - there isn’t a third option, and abstaining is a win for the fascists.
I saw plenty of Democrats holding their nose to vote for Biden, while being very vocal about his age and cognition. I don’t see any criticism about Trump from his base. They shun any Republican politician who speaks out against him, so all we get is softballs from those not up for re-election again.
I mean, why do you think Biden stepped down? It was pressure from voters, pressure from donors, and pressure from a ton of elected democrats. Where is that pressure on Trump?
The sad thing is, he will end up winning more than 20 states despite this.

don’t forget he is also a rapist!
I wonder how his people hope to deal with his condition at work? trump belongs in a rehabilitation clinic, he sounds like he is on autopilot

or jail, but honestly, he seems unghinged in a threatening way.
i mean, like, i wouldnt trust him buying cat food for my cat, and he is former president of the united states, for f**k’s sake
The answer is really easy to understand, money. He has it, you don’t.
if you dont know the answer, money is the answer

They will vote for a corpse, as long as it is not a Democrat. The same was true with Democrats when Joe Biden was still running.

Well, honestly the administration is more than a single person, which is why the other points raised by @DandomRude@lemmy.world are important.
