@smerel “If everything about Trump as a person was the same but he was on the Democratic side of the equation and Mike Pence (from the most moral of all people in American politics today) was on the Republican side , the media and the people lecturing to us about how terrible Trump is now would all be enthusiastically supporting him instead.”
I can’t speak for everyone, but for me and many of my associates, this is absolutely false. To explain and also respond to the idea that it’s the media making Trump look bad; no one has to say anything. He demonstrates all of his bad behavior himself! He’s a bully. A liar. A pervert. Self serving. Does not admit wrong. Doesn’t apologize. He mocks anyone that disagrees. He has little or no empathy. He has fired people for doing their job. Just about all his friends have been put in jail. Over 100,000 new cases of Covid have hit this country daily this past week. He is playing golf. Again, he has no empathy at all. So to answer your question, if he was a democrat (which arguably he was when he donated a ton of money to the Clintons and other democratic candidates), I would never ever vote for someone like him. I have voted both democrat and republican over the last 8 elections that I have been able to vote. I would reverse your logic and say that it is you who have been influenced by the media.
