I hear you, but I've long held the belief that Trump is simply a symptom of the larger problem.

When he dies/becomes incapacitated and someone else takes up his mantle, the reality is the red meat that he's been peddling to his flock for the last decade will need to continue to be fed. Trump exists because it's what "the people" want. And we now have a very large minority of people that, I believe, are going to continue to live in that parallel universe when he's gone.

We can't put that genie back in the bottle. We are broken

It will take someone unexpected to do this...As much support as Vivek has had and still gets as "next", he's not Trump. Not sure who else fits the bill/would have the backing by default.

Same with DeSantis. It wasn’t that long ago he was being billed as some sort of “Trump, but disciplined” and his campaign was basically over before the primaries even began. Turns out people don’t want the discipline. They want Trump’s unfiltered racism, transphobia, misogyny, etc.

CB, just wondering what your take is on the race.
I'm guessing you're a moderate Republican who probably went for Haley?
Where do you think her votes will go in the Carolinas?
Do you think Trumps base is growing?

You're mostly correct. Until 2016, I had not voted Democrat for president. For context, I'm 34, so you can figure out where my other votes did go. I've also never voted along party lines though which is why I've always registered independent. I get a lot wrong in life, but I do try and be objective and open minded based on what I see as the merits of the individual rather than the group/party. It's also why I avoid comments that bucket groups by single demographics. So many variables make up every individual and situation.

Re: the Carolina question, I actually live in Colorado (have for the last 5 years), and I've also spent time in Wisconsin and Nebraska of all places. School and work have moved me around a bit. In my circle, no one supports Trump. So I know where I expect those votes to go. But in general, I'm not sure if it swings the needle enough in North Carolina for it to go blue. South Carolina I suspect is Trump's no matter what.
