My English is not the best so I have hard time converting my thoughts into words but I will try.
Trump is rare case of politician (tbf he is not a politician and never will be) where his words are worse than his actions. With most politicians is the other way around. And I can see why he is doing it. It's a populistic way to engage his voters knowingly that no matter what he says democratic voters won't jump on his side. His tactic backfired because with those talks he engaged democratic voter to go and vote against him (and mostly not for Biden).
TBF i hate that populistic approach but I understand why he is using it and it is getting more and more popular with right wingers all around the world. In my opinion that approach just make bigger gap between one side and the other side which is not the world i want to live in. We all should take each other opinions in consideration and try to find a middle path but I guess that middle path is becoming more and more utopian across the world. And post like the one I replied to you is example of opinion of the left voters which just show that middle path is not possible and it saddens me to see opinions like this. And it backfires just like Trump speeches because it just engages republicans to go and vote. Voting against and not for should never happen but is happening in big number across the world.
In perfect world not Trump and not Biden should be a president of the most influential county in the world. If this is the best what the most influential country in the world can offer it is really sad tbf.
Trump supporters are as close minded as they come mate. Yeah, all politicians like, but unless you live in a total banana republic, most of them actually want to do some good in the world?
What does Trump want? He wants to have his arse kissed and wants to implement policies that benefit
him. The Covid response is a perfect example. He knew it was an incredibly deadly virus and he also knew that doing a full lockdown like we had in Europe would hurt the economy, which at that point was his big "success story" as President.
What did he do? He willfully sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of his citizens by downplaying it and just fecking around for months, because going with the other option would hurt the economy and thus his reelection stances. Spoiler alert, it hurt the economy anyway, so not only was it callous, it was incredibly daft as well.
And its perfectly possible to be right wing/conservative without buying into Trumps insanity
