Jesus fucking christ, you're insane. 74 million people who voted for Trump are all nazis?
That seems unlikely, but that doesn't of course mean they're not supporting a dangerous fascist or autocrat, who is a threat to democracy. Your claim also has all the appearance of a bare appeal to numbers, an argumentum ad populum fallacy.
I try to view most debates beyond a facile one side is completely right and the other completely wrong, and I always keep asking myself "could I be wrong"? I don't know how competent a president Harris would have been, but I have some solid objective evidence of how inept Trump is, including the testimony of his closest advisers from his last administration, and beyond his policies which vary from bat shit crazy denials of climate change, or insanely stupid claims about the best way to tackle a viral pandemic, to empty rhetoric, his character has demonstrated he is unsuitable to public office, and certainly high office.
I accept that people view this differently, but I don't find any of the arguments they resent address my concerns in any compelling way, mainly I get sweeping vapid rhetoric, and bi-partisan whataboutism. I don't wish Trump dead, I just don't want him elected to public office, but FWIW he has himself implied he wanted people dead, I am here remembering his remarks about "2nd amendment people" sorting out his problem (Hilary Clinton), now even if one were to accept it was not meant literally, it is still a very dangerous thing to say. An off colour joke on a private website much less so.
I think you have a blindspot where trump is concerned, as I have read you repeating his lies about the election he lost to Biden for example.
