A claque of high-profile Republicans has appeared at the Democratic National Convention this week but they have had to undertake an arduous political journey
I followed here from a comment on my substack. This is a wonderful post.
My assessment of Trump is very like yours but I would add that I don't think Trump has beliefs like normal people do. I think he has desires and pursues his actions and thoughts to achieve them. Everything else is flexible. He could have just as easily been a been a leader of the Democrats as the Republicans - the Republicans just happened to be especially weak at that time. If he had, I would've voted Republican after a lifetime of opposition. Trump is dangerous to America and the safety of the world. He’ll be self-confident this time and he won’t have his Adults in the Room.
After nearly 25 years in America, my family and I put our hands in the ring and vowed to come home to England if Trump won the election. We started making our plans the day after and made it home less than a year later. He is bad news. It’s not like electing a bad leader like Corbyn or Truss. He is dangerous.
Thank you. I largely agree. Of course he has been a registered Democrat in the past, and hinted he might seek the Reform Party candidacy at one point. Essentially he realised first of all that becoming president was not utterly out of the question: everything else, including party label and ideology, in its loosest sense, flowed from that realisation.
