If you believe that the extremes of the Democratic party push some people towards Trump, thereby forcing them to back someone they might reject under normal circumstances, then the reverse is valid as well. Trump's extremism will beget more leftward extremism.

If conservatives/Republicans continue to normalize voting and enthusiastically supporting someone like Trump, the road back will be even more difficult as the opposition digs in even more.

My concern with Trump was never primarily the short-term impact of his policy positions or that he might suddenly begin instituting a secret liberal agenda. It was clear he'd gladly slip into a "conservative" skin in order to gain support and power.

It's the long-term impact that supporting him and defending him will have on the credibility of conservatism & Republicans (and a more personal concern of mine, the credibility of evangelicals) that keeps me as radically Never Trump as I have ever been.

Just to be clear... I will not be voting for Joe Biden nor am I encouraging anyone else to. I know, terribly unsatisfying position, but it's the best I can do in good conscience.

Stupid argument that assumes appeasement decreases radicalism when all history proves the reverse.

Biden/Harris as a radical ticket is more than laughable, it brings into question the faculties of those asserting such nonsense.

Despite the fact Democrats had ample opportunity to nominate much more progressive candidates, some on the right are still unable to avoid soiling their diapers over some ridiculous perceived, “lurch,” to the left.

If you think Trump caused dems to lurch more left you haven’t been paying attention.

No, he didn’t. However, he has caused many in the middle to have to choose “a side” & his side is becoming more repugnant by the day.
