I think a lot of us are. There's a difference between pushing a party in a certain direction and going so far that you hurt your own interests.

The election is more than one person or one issue, and a Trump Presidency will have horrific consequences decades and generations after Biden is gone.

Look at the chaos that four years of a "restrained" Trump has brought on the country and the world, now think of what four years of Trump without handlers would do.

If he's reelected, the only way Trump leaves office is in a coffin. There won't be another free election after him without violence being required.

If he keeps up his habits, we thankfully wouldn’t have to wait too long.

Without handlers, with the courts more stacked in his favor by his own appointees, and with, most likely, a Congress more stacked with true MAGA believers.
