He obviously isn't concerned with democracy, the Ukranian people, the Constitution, etc. All he wants is for his vast political knowledge to be recognized. It's all about him, which is why he's just like his cult leader.
I'll ignore the insults and simply say that I have the perfect forum pic ready to go for you.

He has adults in his cabinet and on his staff. He will not make the same mistake next time. All of the adults are actively opposing him. All that’s left are yes men and women who will do what he says regardless of consequences. He’s made it clear there is an enemies list and they’ve made it clear he intends to go forward with Project 2025 even if he fake opposes it now.

Let me say this once and for all.

I. DON'T. CARE.

I don't LIKE how he's reacted to it, but at the end of the day, I DON'T CARE.

So even viewing Trump in the light which you view him, you don't trust our system of checks and balances?

See - here's the thing. I don't think our country will fall apart if Kamala wins. I remember all the right-wing doom-and-gloom predictions from the right about Obama. And I'm seeing the same predictions from the right for Kamala. I also don't buy into any of these doom-and-gloom predictions from the left if Trump is President again.

The most damage that was done to our country in modern times was how the (mostly) leftists in power handled Covid. I don't think anything Kamala could do, absent another pandemic, could top that.

Wonderful. You've admitted you're a partisan hack. That's the first step to recovery. What will it take for you to quit Trump (again)?

He intends to use executive action and his newfound presidential immunity to do whatever suits his and his backers fancy. Who needs checks and balances when the Supreme Court just kinged the guy? Checks and balances is so 1789… ruling by fiat is in for those who don’t respect the system. And he sure as hell doesn’t.

That's a mis-representation of what the Supreme Court found.

No it isn’t. He has broad immunity for “official acts”. He will then argue that every act is an official act. How do we know? He’s argued presidential immunity for everything no matter how ridiculous already. He argues that his rally on January 6th was an official act when it was actually a campaign event outside of his presidential duties.

It will be very hard for anyone to stop him or hold him accountable. You go ahead and go on about checks and balances though. None of that means a hill of beans when you have a guy who doesn’t care and won’t respect the system and it isn’t built for someone to not follow the rules. If he gets a friendly Congress to go with it then god help us all. But much of this stuff requires having buddies at the agencies axing rules and not Congress. Schedule F is a very real thing they will very likely do. Fire civil service personnel and replace them with people who are loyal to their cause and will reshape the departments as they see fit. How do we know? There was a draft of it at the end of Trumps first term. It’s no secret they intend to reshape the government entirely in a radical way. This is their last real chance before demographic changes make it virtually impossible to get through.

If you like the way the country has been as long as you’ve been alive and think it’s pretty great already then you’d be steadfast in your opposition to someone who wants to destroy the very concept of America as you’ve always known it. If you admire say 1905 and really wish you had that Time Machine but it’s on back order then vote for Trump.

I've posted plenty - you are just blind to reality.
Let me see if I have this figured out correctly. Trump is no conservative, so you're going to vote for somebody who is even less conservative?
No, Trump is a terrible person who is unqualified for the job. There is only one other option. If she wins and is terrible, I'll vote against her next time.

My prediction: There is going to be a series of one-term presidents for the next 20 years or so.
