    I don’t understand this sentiment at all. I know it’s a popular one - but how in the hell does instigating a violent coup attempt improve people’s views of the man?

      The coup was bad, yes, but don’t forget the hundreds of thousands dead from COVID. Trump has even less plausible deniability for that.

      You seem to be implying that is the reason I find myself disliking him less now than in 2016 which couldn’t be further from the truth. That’s among the most pressing arguments against him.

      That’s equally unfair as me saying ‘I don’t see how Harris supporting gender-affirming surgeries for undocumented immigrants in custody’ makes people want to vote for her.
