I understand this perspective, even if I disagree, but what would the alternative have been? One of the other losers who ran against him, or Kamala? What would have been better?
How many times in my life has someone tried to persuade me of the "lesser of two evils" argument? I would estimate that virtually every election since 1980 (the first I participated in) has been the same thing. Over and over and over. (Of course it was happening long before then)
This insistence is as old as the fake two party system that you are suggesting is real.
My perspective was and is that they manipulate the citizenry every election. What blows my mind is this outlet has fallen for it. In this case they foisted all the DEI, immigrants, trannies, white genocide, brain dead Biden replaced by fool Harris. It was IF they were trying to force people to vote for Trump (and many of you did).
I have tried for decades to get some movement going that essentially is, "Never an R or D Again!"
But I fight the big brains who fall for the same old con EVERY time. These people included.
Your attempts can be appreciated, but they are fundamentally ill suited for the vast majority of conservatives. Despite what it appears to be online, few people are fringe enough on the right to be perpetually dissatisfied with the Republican Party. Republicans are by nature a big tent, because conservatism is not ideological at its core, and there are many stripes of people who think it means different things. Conservatism throughout history has always been risk mitigation. It’s not radical or rebellious.
Even looking at “right wing” movements of the 20th century like the NatSocs in Germany or the Fascists in Italy, both of those are left wing economic populism with conservative values. That’s not popular in the states because the people on the right don’t want more government, they want less.
All parties are a managed decline. Trump provides an opportunity to extend the decline longer and less painfully so younger folk can gather the resources necessary to survive. That’s why I voted for him.
This viewpoint amazes me. I assume you are much younger than I, but my previous statements about being conned since 1980 (at least) is true. I witnessed it over and over.
So, forgive me if I hear ANOTHER lesser two evils argument and I simply discard it due to historical proofs.
Your first election participation was twenty years before I was born. I’m not disregarding your experience, but our age gap means our political intentions are going to be vastly different. I grew up after the America you were raised in was effectively destroyed. My generation is in survival mode haha. My prerogative is to secure enough resources so my family is not obliterated by what’s coming.
As for political intentions, all I ever ask for is truth from those who rule. Donald Trump wouldn't know the truth if you slapped him in the mouth with it.

I hope the link from Tablet Mag is purely for just information and not necessarily an endorsement of their values
I think those that pushed Trump on us are the losers. The ones still pushing are dangerous.

I've been in survival mode for over 20 years.

Good luck.
