      Undecideds:

      On the one hand, I am concerned about his basic fitness for office. But on the other hand, I am also concerned that the competent lady who has been in office for the past four years may not totally agree with me on everything. How can I possibly choose between them?

          Not saying I condone political violence, but the Democratic Party has absolutely not been willing to stop Republicans “by any means necessary, even violence”.

          Large parts of “the Left”, maybe; but certainly not the actual party politicians.

          Political violence is an inevitability. It’s up to us to ensure we get the best possible type of violence.

        For a lot of them, I don’t think it goes any farther than: “Yeah he says things I don’t necessarily agree with, but groceries are more expensive than ever and I just want things to be different.”

          I saw something a few weeks ago that went something like “People really about to elect a fascist who wants to terminate the constitution just to shave $0.50 off the price of eggs.”

          Really, it should have been “because they think he’ll shave $0.50 off the price of eggs.”, because he doesn’t have a policy plan to tackle inflation. He doesn’t have a plan at all aside from staying out of prison.

    I am more concerned about him wanting to be a dictator on day one and him being a Nazi

        Kinda makes sense? If you’re monarchist, king’s mental state should be your top concern.

        If you’re a fascist though you operate on vibes and therefore do not care.

          Kinda, but the lines between monarchy and fascism are far thinner - and blurrier - than you might be willing to see.

          There are sacrosanct barriers against what our founding fathers fought for freedom against, even a litany of monographs and treatises, that directly and loudly proclaim that what Trump is doing is in direct opposition to it.

          But, sadly, the dumbest and most hateful among us will exercise their voice in unison— but there are more of us than them. The problem is getting everyone to vote. So do what you can to convince people to vote. And make sure that you vote too!

    The question is which Americans are increasingly concerned about his age and fitness. Only those who already think he’s politically unfit for office, or a significant number of his supporters and those sitting on the fence as well?

    This is one of those times where it doesn’t matter. At this stage, they’re gonna vote for him anyway.

    This headline and article is bullshit. Yeah being that old is a negative. But look at Bernie, he would have been just fine when he ran.

    The real and glaring issue is Trump himself. Full stop.

    Oh, it is already that time of the week where the media pushes this as new information?

    Wake me up when his drafty attic actually results in removal from the Republican ticket or breaks through the Republican voter information blockade.
