Man, I don't really see where a lot of you are coming from. I hope you are right. Even that creep Desantis is better than Trump, especially a Trump out for revenge and not caring about reelection.
The only things that could stop Trump:
-- age finally catches up to him, he's no spring chicken but the dude does have a lot of spiteful energy
-- an Obama-level candidate (not president, candidate) runs for the Democrats.
This country is full of spiteful ignorant morons, if Covid hasn't shown that enough. Even fucking minorities voted more for Trump in 2020, which to me is like roaches voting for Raid. Or a vikings fan (me) wanting the packers to win. Does not compute.
I think having an old dude who frankly I hoped would not win (Biden) not running again in 2024 means the incumbent advantage is gone, and it becomes a disadvantage.
Caveat: if the economy does end up booming in 2024, then that likely means any GOP candidate loses.
