        I get where you’re at; but I need to have hope. And notice I’m not saying, “against conservatives”, or “against Republicans”. It’s specifically the Trump cult of personality - which will splinter the MAGA movement as wedge issues split the Tea Party. I think they just might, since they have before.

          If there’s one thing his base has been conditioned to do more than vote republican, it is to never ever vote Democrat.

          Honestly I bet Musk’s stupid third party is the best way to split the nazi vote.

            Honestly, it’s not like I’m ever planning to vote Democrat again either. After the devastating impact that Murphy, Cuomo, Baraka, and de Blasio had on my life, I’m not going to support their team. I’ll vote third party, or choose not to cast a ballot.

              Yeah…

              For the 2024 election I still manually chose the top challenger to every republican (close to a party line blue vote but not quite) and in cases where one person secured both party’s nominations I think I just left it blank out of spite.

              But next time and moving forward, I have no idea. It is so, so far away in Trump Time that I could envision anything along the spectrum from excitedly voting for a progressive to being afraid to vote because they’re obviously compiling lists of dissenting voters.
