General Discussion

It's not inevitable (and I'm not sure how many people are actually saying that, the author's claim notwithstanding), but it has to be about more than just Trump.

If voters weren't convinced of how abhorrent Trump was in 2020, I'm not sure why some are so insistent that it suddenly makes a difference in 2024. It doesn't.

Nearly everyone made up their minds about Trump years (or decades) ago. None of that matters to nearly half of voters -- they're going to vote for him regardless of what he says or does. The people to whom it does matter turned on Trump years ago. We keep fooling ourselves into believing that his latest atrocity will be the final straw for voters.

The only thing that matters now is turnout. We need to outvote them. It's true now, and it was true in 2016 and 2020, as well.
