> I think you're giving Trump too much personal credit here
Yeah I think you're right - it's more so his party.
> I don't think Ron DeSantis or any other candidate would have been a stark difference from Trump
Yeah probably not (and maybe worse even).
> we're not going to fix much by electing a "good" president
Probably not, but a blue president won't abolish the department of education. Nor would they instate a requirement that all government employees must pass an exam proving they're conservative (yes, real).
The problem is we have two right-leaning party. The moderate one, the dems, who do almost nothing. And the far-right one, which is dangerous. Like... actively looking to make everyone's lives worse at the behest of corporations and the ultra-wealthy, and then to top it off, enforce religious values and good morals.
It's a shitty situation, but in my opinion an easy choice. At least currently. The repubs have gotten much more radical in the past decade IMO.
