  I understand the MAGA cult, but do moderates not see this?

    There the opposite is true. They already know that the other guy is a villain. Their candidate will have to prove themselves not to be.

      Plus since they are the figurehead of the party, if they are lackluster in their proof it could affect downstream elections.

    Because moderates pathological like to bring up “both sides”

    Moderates are conservatives with a sense of shame.

    “Moderates” are a fiction. They’re just an excuse Democrats make for pandering to corporate donors while giving only the barest scraps to their leftist base.

  Only by the cultists, and I doubt the entire media industry is in the cult.

    Trump gets views. That’s why they love him.

      Yes I agree, but only because they are a capitalists first and a human beings second.
      They love him because they are morons, who don’t know they are engaging in self harm.
      It’s sad that people of power, like for instance Elon Musk and the people behind Fox are so stupid they can’t see they are digging their own graves.
