I mean, I can't disagree with any of your points either. Except that the "optics" are a created and false narrative.

People are seeing what they've been propagandized to see, not an accurate representation of what is there.

How else can you explain, "say y'all, why don't we disrupt the hurricane by kicking it's ass with a thermonuclear weapon" and "what'd' ya think? We can just kick Covid's ass by having people ingest bleach and disinfectant or somehow shove UV rays into their body. No problem. There's lots of orifices." as being sane, rational, and conclusions anyone would come up with yet a few age related slips of the tongue but a demonstrable record of not perfect, but decent stewardship of a currently half crazed nation as too much cognitive decline to be born? Intolerable? All the things?

Make it make sense.

Frankly, if Trump gets elected, that's a reflection on the electorate. Because if you've got two functional brain cells to rub together and you can't conclude that electing a potato as a write in candidate is a saner, more responsible choice than Donald Trump and the despot butt licking sycophants in his administration, then it's time for the country to split because there's nothing left worth fighting to keep together. Blue states can't continue footing the bill of red state impoverishing policies.

And if you do have enough sense to vote for that potato but you can't get behind Biden...same thing. Maybe having to face the full measure of conservative beliefs and Republican policies, getting the full.measure od the FO to FAFO, will provide the proper perspective.

Everything else is noise and nonsense.

Trump and the douchebags backing him are lunatics. See them for the destroyers and age to of chaos they are.

Or make sure your families can afford the resultant funerals. Because you will get no support or aid from them.
