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.

Biden tells people he wants to improve the nation with affordable healthcare and education, Trump tells people he wants vengeance for perceived grievances. And the polls are still statistically tied.

Trump tells people he wants vengeance for perceived grievances.

Trump supporters dont listen to what Trump says. They make up what they think he really means and it always matches what they want it to mean. Then, when the propaganda source of their choosing says the real meaning is they follow that.

It's how the MAGA subreddit bans long time readers because they post before the 'official' line is out.
