TBH, that is just a mainstream centrist position now.

At least Trump is incompetent

I feel like Dem Congress with Trump as president is almost certainly the least bad outcome

Dem Congress with Trump as president

Dems capitulating to Trump's fascist demands rather than Repubs plowing through fascist demands over Harris's lukewarm objections.

But in the end same-picture

Any other Republican president I’d agree but they do still think Trump specifically is icky and between that and his incompetence it at least might gum up the works a bit

Trump also has voiced opposition to the war in Ukraine, escalation with Russia and even the notion of WW3 with China.

Still a ghoul and as genocidal against Palestinians as anyone else in the US govt, still not someone anyone should support. But between these things and his threats of sanctioning countries that divest from the USD I honestly kinda hope that if either of two devils wins, he does. I imagine he'll be JFKed before he ever dares throw a wrench in the march to WW3 (if he dares- doubt) though

There’s still a chance they succeed at offing him before the election.

Personally, I'm hoping he wins and then gets offed. Even better yet if he gets offed after further marshalling up support post-win and while he's in the process of negotiating peace. I'm imagining that will be the most disruptive way to go for the AmeriKKKan reich.

They would complain that he isn't funding the genocide fast enough (via some arms-related committee).
