“I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” he wrote. “That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognise our country. And you are right to be furious.”
But — but surely they recognise Trump supports them even less? Apathy overpowering self-preservation is exactly what they want.
It’s a bit of a lose-lose situation. Vote and you tell the democrats that you’re fine with the bullshit they’ve been up to the last four years, including nominating a candidate without a primary. Don’t vote and, well, you get Trump. Now logically it might make more sense to vote anyway, but these things don’t follow logic except very roughly.
