By Matt Underwood Trump is bleeding moderate support. It could cost him the 2024 election. That’s the headline that grabbed my attention, as a self-proclaimed moderate voter. As someone who believes in electing the best person for the job, who wants safety for everyone, a well-funded education system, equality of outcomes, sensible drug laws, good jobs and training options, a secure border, and a strong military, I find myself deeply troubled by the state of the Republican Party and its continued support for Donald Trump.
The comments I’ve read echo my own sentiments. The Republican party’s willingness to go along with this Trump con job is baffling and infuriating. I can’t help but hope that they dissolve into the abyss. But as history has shown, when parties dissolve, they often reappear in another form, usually worse. This is a concerning thought, especially considering the damage that Trump has already done to our nation.
Trump’s presidency was abysmal at best. He lost in 2020, and now he’s facing numerous indictments. It’s shocking to think that he even has a chance at being elected again. His spread of misinformation and mishandling of the pandemic resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. How can anyone still support him after all of this?
The notion that moderates would support Trump is absurd. Moderation does not mean average; it means being open-minded, rational, and seeking incremental solutions to problems. Trump is none of these things. He is an insurrectionist who is not qualified to hold office. He has shown time and time again that he is more interested in his own power and ego than in serving the American people.
The comparison to Andrew Jackson’s presidency is apt. Like Jackson, Trump’s presidency has been marked by chaos, scandals, and an overall disregard for culture and etiquette. This is not the kind of leadership that I want for our country. Jackson is often considered one of the worst presidents in history, and it seems that Trump is trying to surpass even him.
I believe that the only way to protect our nation, our constitution, and our population is to vote blue no matter who. The Republican Party has shown itself to be morally cowardice, anti-American, and determined to destroy our country. As a moderate, I want the best people in office who can incrementally fix the big issues and defend our values. This is not what the Republican Party stands for anymore.
It’s disheartening to see the Overton window shift so dramatically. Supporting Trump is not rational. He is a fascist criminal traitor who should not be allowed to run for office, let alone be elected. The fact that there are still people who follow him blindly is mind-boggling.
It’s true that Trump does not have moderate support. His support is by definition violent extremism. The fact that he still has any support at all is a testament to the shortsightedness and racist ideals of some individuals. It’s not about making America great again; it’s about returning to a time when whites were seen as superior and held power over others.
But I have hope. The comments I’ve read suggest that more and more people are waking up to the reality of Trump’s corruption and incompetence. The 2024 election could be a decisive rejection of MAGA, leading to a fracture within the Republican Party. Turnout will be the deciding factor, and I believe that there are enough people desperate not to have Trump in office again to make a difference.
In the end, it’s up to us to make sure that our voices are heard. We must vote, and we must stay vigilant to ensure that Trump can’t steal the election. Let’s all vote blue and work towards making America a better place for everyone. It’s time for a change, and I believe that change starts with us. Reflecting on the headline “Trump is bleeding moderate support. It could cost him the 2024 election,” it becomes clear that the sentiments expressed in the comments align with my own thoughts as a moderate voter. The idea that Trump could still have a chance at being elected despite his abysmal presidency and numerous indictments is deeply troubling. As a moderate, I believe in electing the best person for the job and prioritizing the well-being and safety of all Americans.
The Republican Party’s support for Trump is concerning. Their willingness to go along with his con job is baffling, and I can’t help but hope that they dissolve into the abyss. However, history has shown that parties often reappear in another, often worse, form. This realization highlights the urgency of the situation and the need to vote for change.
Trump’s presidency has been marked by chaos, scandals, and a disregard for basic decorum. The comparison to Andrew Jackson’s presidency is apt, as both leaders perpetuated a culture of chaos and lack of respect for institutions. Jackson is considered one of the worst presidents in history, and Trump seems determined to surpass even him.
As a moderate, I find it absurd to think that any true moderate would support Trump. Moderation means being open-minded, rational, and seeking incremental solutions. Trump embodies none of these qualities. He is an insurrectionist who is unqualified for office, and his spread of misinformation and mishandling of the pandemic has led to an alarming number of deaths.
The only way forward, in my opinion, is to vote blue, no matter who. The Republican Party has shown itself to be morally bankrupt and anti-American. They no longer stand for the values I hold dear as a moderate voter. It’s disheartening to witness the shift of the Overton window and the acceptance of Trump’s behavior as normal. Supporting him is not rational; it indicates a detachment from reality and a willingness to embrace divisive and racist ideals.
However, I remain hopeful. The comments I’ve read suggest that more and more people are waking up to the reality of Trump’s corruption and incompetence. The 2024 election could be a turning point, with a decisive rejection of MAGA and a fracture within the Republican Party. Turnout will be crucial, and it’s up to us as moderate voters to make our voices heard and ensure that Trump cannot steal the election.
In conclusion, the sentiment expressed in the headline resonates deeply with me as a moderate voter. Trump’s loss of moderate support could indeed cost him the 2024 election. The Republican Party’s allegiance to him is concerning, but by voting blue and working together, we can strive for a better future. Change starts with us, and it’s our responsibility to protect our nation, our values, and the well-being of all Americans.
