Why We Should Be Concerned about Trump in 2024

Reader Scott McKie notes:

Face it — all Trump backers / voters are as morally and politically corrupt as he is.

And all Republican voters are as politically corrupt as the MAGA crowd — because, as they have continuously demonstrated: they will not, by choice, consider working politically with any Democrat, in sufficient numbers, to get anything done.

Not sure “corrupt” is the right word here, but you bring up an interesting point.

What will make the 2024 presidential election interesting, at least insofar as it appears now, is that virtually all voters who think of themselves as Republicans will vote for the GOP nominee, even if he’s a sociopath and convicted criminal.

My mother is an intelligent, well-educated woman who long ago realized that Donald Trump is one of the vilest people ever to walk the Earth.  Will that deter her from voting for him?

No.  Mom represents a significant cohort in our electorate that would cast her ballot for an affable dog before she’d vote for a Democrat.
