Hypocrisy is rampant in both parties and if you believe beyond his most extreme base that Trump’s whims control the bulk of the people who voted for him, I’d say you dont know many Trump voters.

Almost every Trump voter I know voted for him as the lesser of two evils.



From a European perspective you have one party which is completely delusional and another party which seems unable to capitalize on that.

How anybody can consider voting for Trump as a lesser evil is just incomprehensible.


I didn’t vote for him or Harris. I didn’t vote for her because she failed in the most important duty that she had as VP—which was to become the president when it was apparent that he couldn’t do the job.

She should have raised a flag…she had the media access to do it, but stayed silent. She put her party over her country.


Depends on what direction your personal "evil" axis points in.

Is not prosecuting crimes more evil, or is jailing people more evil?

Is not trusting science more evil, or is trusting (at least partly) wrong science more evil?

Is hiring people with lesser qualifications more evil, or is letting structural inequality persist more evil?

Is letting evil persist in the world more evil, or is foreign military intervention more evil?

Those are not questions with objectively verifiable answers. The answers depend on your values system. If someone has answers that you disagree with, that does not inherently mean that their values system is stupid or immoral or wrong.

Note well: I'm not saying that Trump is a good answer. Even plenty of people who voted for him don't think he's a good answer. But some like his actions during his first term better than they liked Biden's actions.
