Signed.

Now I want to add: Trump is a symptom. The problem is the incredibly large fraction of the people of this country who think he's the right choice. Blocking Trump will cause them to immediately pivot to others such as DeSantis, Cotton, etc. b/c of generalized racism & sexism. The only advantage to blocking Trump is the temporary disorder it will cause on the right.

Problem/solution is no single individual, but rather entire ticket, in multiple elections.

It's a duty.

@tarheel

I agree.

I also agree with others that Trump is a catalyst.

Getting him out of the picture and being defamed as a criminal will greatly help in getting similar people defeated in future elections.

@beforewisdom

Catalyst, yes.

I think the salutary effect of shutting him out would be short-lived and overstated. A huge fraction voted for him again, and would vote for him a third time. They're not stupid; they know what they're doing.

This country has a sickness and Trump is the symptom.

@tarheel I think they are stupid ( lacking the self awareness to see that they are being emotionally manipulated to act against their self interests ).

@beforewisdom

That "why do they vote against their own self-interest?" thing is pretty common.

I'm not sure who you're thinking of, but those in poverty are not, in fact, Trump supporters. It's the Bass-Pro bourgeoisie.
