Night two at the Republican National Convention had all of Trump's former rivals bending the knee and endorsing him. I look at all the personalities surrounding Trump, and what that means for the future of the country:

We all have the same goal in mind, preventing a Christian
Nationalist fascist America, allied with Putin, and with Trump the
stooge "in control" but actually acting under the orders of men like
Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.
After watching Biden's interview with Holt, I am more convinced than
ever that our best shot at that is for Biden to step aside in favor of
a candidate who can actually describe the threat that the Trump/MAGA
movement is to America.
Having said that, I will vote for Biden or any Democratic candidate nominated.
The Vance selection was a bad one for Trump. I think it
was forced on him by those controlling him behind the scenes. Their
egos are so inflated they think they can do anything they want.Trump
relishes the spotlight and Vance will do his best to shine it on
himself, creating tension that might make both less appealing. Also,
by creating a ticket that is more MAGA and unbalanced, I believe
Trump/Vance, a truly demonic team, may lose some independent support.
Do not despair..JD may be Trump’s undoing. This is from 538 polling today:
Biden 278
Trump 260
