      I cannot even count the number of people from whom I have heard this exact argument, in conversations & private emails.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-cant-stand-trump-but-democrats-may-force-me-to-vote-for-him/2020/09/14/1cf10518-f6c4-11ea-a275-1a2c2d36e1f1_story.html …

      Motivated reasoning, in every instance.

      So, you find it impossible for anyone, ever, to be alarmed by the opposing party's positions on the issues, approach to the culture, or stances on the institutions & structures of government?

      It’s like they didn’t watch the primary. Joe Biden beat the people they are putatively complaining about.

      They just want an excuse to vote for Trump. If Biden isn’t acceptable to them, then no Democratic nominee was ever going to be and they should just admit that they favor Trump.

      So no, you cannot imagine anyone having that thought process about a vote. Interesting.

          Oh I am imagining their thought process very clearly.

          Biden wants more money for police, won't raise taxes much or rock the boat. He is the most conservative democratic nominee. What are you missing? You're a real crank

          IMO it’s extremely easy to imagine a conservative casting a vote for Trump (a guy who is very much in favor of conservative policy!) But making this about “the cultural left’s grip over institutions” is just stupid. Just admit you like the guy!

          Trump's administration is a lot of things, hardly any of which is a reflection of conservative policy.

          Have they ever been to Denmark? Or Norway? They provide healthcare for all, equitable family leave after the birth of a child, are working to combat climate change, & ban fracking & don’t have crazy wanna be soldiers roaming the streets with AK-47s. Sounds much better than the US
