Think this is the case for many Republican voters. They're voting for Trump as he's their only candidate. If the election had 3 candidates:
a - Repblican - Trump as president
b - Republican - Someone else as president
c - Democrats - Biden as presidentI think b would've gotten a fair chunk of votes

I think this is a pretty good point. Lots of ex-republicans have noted that they haven't changed, but the party has moved away from them. What I really wanted to say to Trump supporters is that, unless you are manifestly racist or misogynist, there are better people to take the country where you want to go than Donald Trump. There are conservative leaders who will actually lead, who think of their country before themselves, who aren't afraid of taking expert advice, who's idea of draining the swamp isn't repopulating it with cronies and relatives, who will actually try to create a United States rather than alienating half the country solely for personal political and financial gain. Unfortunately there appear to be so many who have been hooked by the idea that anyone to the left of Mitch McConnell is just waiting to turn them into Venezuela that they'll convince themselves that Trumps obvious flaws are just what everyone is like or can just be overlooked.

Correlation is not causation.
Lots of Kati's family are Republican voters and voted for Trump this time, and 4 years ago. They don't like the man nor do they agree with everything he says but they are pro-life single issue voters and that is the way of it. I thin they see his racism as being an ugly stain to have to bear to get what they want.
