> trump is a pressure release valve the way he's behaved, especially in his first term - i mostly agree. > they fall into trumpism and a better candidate won't win them over like you say though, not sure how solvable that is while trump himself campaigns - especially talking about an only hypothetical candidate. when that better candidate starts campaigning than there's it's more tangible to align meme culture here with that candidate and against trump. still, that only works if it's tight at the margins. if trump's base is majority maga faithful to him and he never supports his detractors, even if they are better for the country, than there's not really an option to change his mind. or at least i'm not aware of it unless someone like barron or ivanka agrees. generally yeah this shit makes sense. i don't mindlessly peddle trump. i'm fine with waiting and seeing. if shit gets really bad like with the vax then i would agree it's time to try to swing public opinion against him. he did fold a bit on the jab to that
