I'd vote if they let me.
You can vote by saying something positive about some politician. That's what a vote is.

No, that's not a vote.
I disliked Joe Biden a lot less than I disliked Donald Trump. I'd have voted for Biden in the last election in a flash, and I'd have voted for Hillary in the one before that. Doesn't mean I have to think they're any good.

...and I did say positive things about Mike Pence. I still wouldn't vote for him.

I know quite a few people who voted for Trump in Massachusetts. I'm pretty good friends with a couple of them.
It strikes me that Americans go on about there being a threat to the end of the Republic every election. Obviously, the Trump thing was a lot more hysterical than normal, but people right here said Obama was going to bring about the end of the world as we know it.

Larry said that. I don't think anybody else did.

People elsewhere did, too.
I know that nobody with an ounce of common sense takes Ann Coulter seriously, but she said Obama was an existential threat, and a lot of people clearly buy into her drivel or she'd have had to get a real job.

She ended up not liking Trump. Apparently not a Trumpist.
The world isn't actually divided into Trump supporters and detractors. Lots of people who voted for him only did so because they disliked him less than Biden/Hillary, and the same goes for Hillary/Biden voters.
The idea that you can't think both candidates are shit doesn't make any sense.
As far as Coulter goes, I think she's mostly interested in getting publicity and selling her dreadful books.

So the Trump cult is not very powerful, if she opposed him, as a previous supporter, and still was able to sell books.
I heard her interviewed on the Derek Hunter podcast about a year ago, she is earnest and not a terrible person.

Don't let anyone else hear you say that Trump is not a global phenomenon. His whole schtick is based on being a more global than even George Soros.
