I'm very worried about this election. Discussion/Debate

I've never seen the media engage in such blatant propagandizing before. Despite Kamala Harris being a weak candidate, I can easily see Trump losing this election. I have no faith that Trump won't make this election about himself, just as he did in 2020. In fact, as Ben frequently points out, it's very likely that he will turn this into a referendum on himself.

In my community, which is predominantly evangelical and socially conservative, many people despise Trump. While a number of them do vote GOP, many others vote Democrat, for various reasons besides Trump. However, a significant portion will never vote for him because they intensely dislike his character and personality.

I've never been a fan of Trump, even though I voted for him. He makes it extremely difficult for certain conservative and moderate communities to support him. Part of me even hopes Kamala wins, so we can move past Trump. If that happens, maybe conservatives will turn the page and start fielding better candidates who aren't RINOs or populists. It's just a huge mess.

I’m more worried about “record number of mail in ballots” - though at least this time republicans are doing their best to also engage in harvesting, etc. but as we all know who counts is most important and if Trump wins it will be okay to protest at capital and have alternate electors as it will be in defense of democracy, not an insurrection.
