As usual, your comments are spot on. As a reminder, Trump was a pro-choice Democrat for most of his life so his “conversion” to the Republican Party was fairly recent.
I couldn’t bring myself to vote for him in the 2016 general election and knew he didn’t need my vote to win Indiana. I did vote for him in 2020 because I supported most of his policies and I wasn’t sure about the results in my new home state of Missouri.
Over the past couple of months I’ve wondered why Biden kept railing against “extreme MAGA Republicans”. Now I realize that was code speak for Trump supporting election deniers. Overall the Republicans underestimated the issues of Trump hatred and abortion in motivating the Democratic base and many independents.
If Trump truly loved the country more than himself, he’d go quietly into retirement. Unfortunately I believe he sees his reelection as confirmation of his status as the “greatest president of all time” (his words, not mine). Trump will always be supported by his cult-like devotees. I hope the Republican Party has enough clear-minded members to reject him in the primary and, as you say, “kick him to the curb”.
