Yup, it was all covered in a very nice post from
@frostbite that was only a couple of posts above yours. You must have missed it as you were replying to a few different posts at the same time.
That one ^^^^^
I do see what you are saying
@gaffs and I also share your worry and trepidation. I think the worst thing you can do is underestimate Trump and also second guess voters. Harsh lessons in recent elections have shown this. I also can't be 100% sure Trump will be convicted or even jailed, despite overwhelming evidence against him. He's shown time and time again he gets away with anything. Through manipulation, intimidation, lying or twisting he always manages to change the narrative and get away with everything. This isn't helped by the fact many of his base don't and won't ever see him as doing anything wrong and the rest not caring either way. They just want Trump because he speaks their language and has caused such a divide in the country that all the focus from the Republicans is just attacking the Dems.
Trump didn't keep many of his promises, was President during COVID and also spent all his time either golfing, rage Tweeting or on news channels or holding pointless rallies in very favourable Trump areas just so he could have his pathetically fragile ego stroked all the time.
He was an absolute embarrassment in any world leader meeting or when he visited China and the UK for example. He's clueless about foreign policy or world affairs, and just says what people want to hear. He hardly ever attended any daily briefings and he also completely avoided ever holding pressers where he could be asked questions.
He stopped keeping visitor record logs for the White House and had many visits from very questionable people, many behind closed doors. He always used unsecured technology despite constant warnings from the Secret Service. He promised much with healthcare and infrastructure and the border control and achieved nothing. He also made millions from the Secret Service having to constantly stay at his own hotels.
On top of all this he lied.continuosly and often contradicted himself. Like only hiring the best people yet nearly every single one left and then got slagged off by him. He divulged secrets to his hotel guests and also (and this is no exaggeration) caused an issue or scandal l every single day of his Presidency. Any other President would have been removed for even 1% of the shit Trump got up to. He adjusted hurricane forecasts with a sharpie because his initial prediction was wrong. He insulted grieving gold star widows and family members and also held back disaster relief for Puerto Rico because the islands Governor questioned his response and help and asked for more.
He made his family billions like Jared Kushner who got paid $2bn from Saudi Arabia and he also gave all his family cabinet positions that not one was qualified for.
Yet none of that matters to his cult and now it seems to many other Republicans too.
All of that would instantly disqualify anyone else from ever being elected again. Yet Biden who has actually done some good, is old and prone to serious gaffs and errors and even falls. He's also continually being blamed for things that were actually Trump's fault or doing, yet it's Twisted so badly now it's all on Biden. Even things out of his control too like gas prices, all because Trump always took credit for anything despite him having feck all to do with it. Jan 6th is a perfect example, it was all staged by Pelosi and they were all FBI actors ffs.
The worst part is the Dems haven't even put anyone or got anyone else that would beat Trump.
So yeah, I get the worry and also understand the uncertainty around voters for Biden, especially given his health and constant misspeaking and senior moments.
