....and Republicans still won't vote for a Democrat. I have no idea who these Republicans are that, 8 years after Trump's takeover of the GOP, don't have blind loyalty to the party. No one who voted for Trump in 2016 after his "When you're a celebrity they let you do it" comment is going to change their mind now.

My only conclusion has to be Democrats are deliberately moving to the right with Trump as an excuse. They intentionally do this because their loyalty is to capitalism.

There's probably a low 3-digit number of "never Trump Republicans" in the entire country, and they're all either former office holders turned talking heads, former office holders selling godawful memoirs called some bullshit like "the sanctity of patriotism over despotism" that they didn't actually write and nobody will ever read that are still on the NYT best sellers list somehow, dogshit op-ed writers trying to pull the Dems further right than they voluntarily will run towards, or some combination of the above. American voters are broadly politically incoherent and dumb as fuck as a given, but I'm pretty confident there are more senile geriatric voters writing in Ronald Reagan in any given election than Trump➡️Biden voters that the DNC are perpetually cynically triangulating towards at the behest of their donor base. American Maoist Third Worldists are probably a bigger constituency than "never Trump Republicans" lmao
