That and there are a lot of people who just don't bother - you can say 'Okay Boomer' but we are pretty likely to get out and vote because that's what we were taught to do. I think the frustration of feeling like your vote doesn't count anyway keeps a lot of people away from the polls. And don't get me started on the antiquated and useless Electoral College.
Yeah, what I meant by "republicans", and Donald Trump in this case, is that I was referring to the reactionary republicans rather than the actual conservative republicans. To me, being conservative, but not reactionary is fine by me.
In my eyes, it is okay to be republican as long as you are actually conservative and not reactionary and you are not brainwashed enough to not accept lies but accept facts. It is a shame too many republicans in the USA nowadays seem to be so bad and not actually care that much about the country and use the people of the nation for their own gain, among other things.
Then again, the same could be the case with the democrats, so there is that. Still, to me, the republican party of the US seem to show their bad side more than the democrats, but democrats can do that too, right? All I am saying is that you should really vote for the person and not the party if the person is a POS.

What is a POS in this case?
Still, I do agree with everything else you said, so far.

In that case, I now fully agree with you.

I will never vote for anyone who has supported or defended Trump or the 6 Jan insurrection.
That means it will be a long time before I vote Republican again -- if ever.

Republicans tend to be more tribal than Democrats, which goes a long way to explain the current situation.

I hope not. It comes down to the lesser of two evils........ again.

No one is free of evil, so it's always a matter of whether you choose the greater one, the lesser one, or sit it out.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
