If you watch highlights of DeSantis/Haley vs Trump last night the people losing are the most coherent figures on that side.
How anyone doesn't want to bitch slap Trump when he's rambling is beyond me. "Energy" is his top priority for his next term. GTFO! Oil production the highest ever with Biden in office.
but we still aren't taking advantage of our advantages.

IF that guy gets elected again, I think he'll unleash hell on the administrative state.

And when they lose, which seems more and more likely, they will blame everyone but themselves.
They are trying to take him off ballots and even arrest him already. Or do you not think that they can’t cheat enough this time?
You see it in the media, in the statements and actions of politicians, and in the justice system. Where the threshold of acceptable means exists to, in their mind "save democracy", I am not sure. If we were to use the events of the pandemic as our guide, "lie, cheat and steal" do not seem out of the realm of possibilities.
Now, Trump also is an "ends justify the means" type and he is antifragile. It's a fucked up scenario we are in where both Trump and anti-Trump are playing a game of chicken with, as Chris would put it, Democracy. It's not good.
The left wants to blame Trump for all of it and the Trumpers want to blame the left for all of it. I wish that a majority of people would dump both Trump and anti-Trump and choose a third path, seems unlikely but I'll vote my conscience anyways, to Conor's chagrin.
Jordan Peterson's perspective on it is worth a listen, he makes some good points:
didn't care who they killed as a part of collateral damage. Their biggest problem is they all feel they know what is best for every individual.
In every future case, they will see a “threat to democracy” as well with, in their mind, the critical need to beat them regardless of means. (Remember, these are the people who think 600 unarmed protesters at the empty capital who were let in by capital police were “the worst event in American history since Pearl Harbor”).
No, I think that besides Trump being a far better candidate with far better policy (and without dementia), there is a need to squelch the precedent that the Left is trying to establish.
Also, BidenHandler’s policies are killing our country.
Finally, there is a need for the electorate to take back control of the country from the power hungry, unelected dC lifers who are now in charge.

…..and remember what his Handlers were willing to do to US citizens during COVID.
This is really a no-brainer.
But if it helps you feel better about it, the constant negative hyperbole against Trump simply cannot all be true.
They are twisting things and taking them out of context frequently, and using his “Trump Speak” style against him at every turn.
Sure he’s a dick….so is Biden, Obama, and Clinton before him. Who cares?
And figured out how to prevent the crap that happened in 2020 from happening again.
The Dems knew the electoral map and very specifically where they needed to manufacture votes in particular counties - WI, AZ, and GA - and managed to do so in a way that couldn't readily be detected.
The notion that Joe Biden legitimately got the number of votes they claim he did was laughable.
