Polls indicate Trump has overwhelming approval among republicans.
There's only like 10 of those mythical never-trump moderate respectable republicans, and every single one of them has a job writing editorials for NYT and other liberal media.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

MODERATORS
Yep, they're only alienating democrats by trotting these people out. You should go out and show that both parties aren't the same instead of platforming people that say Kamala will further the goals of the American Empire and won't get in the way of the further hollowing out of the judiciary.
Dems literally couldn't have given republicans a bigger gift than abandoning any message of progress or materially improving people's conditions to chase <10% of the republican base. Republicans are campaigning just by associating the democrats with the policies of the republicans they keep trotting out to represent them. https://xcancel.com/OS26/status/1850299840627921180
Good, but does anyone voting for Trump regularly read the NYT?
None of this seems to matter, as everyone is in their own little reality bubble now.
Good, but does anyone voting for Trump regularly read ~~the NYT~~?
“The NYT” part was completely unnecessary
I live in NYC and used to work in the Wall street area.
All the top execs read the Times. There are 8 million people in NY and the Times has about 12 million subscribers.
It's the daily paper of the 0.01%
Yeah well NY is not a swing state :(
The key comment is his last sentence.
There aren’t a lot of conservative judges like this guy left. He testified in front of the January 6 Committee, so Trump lost him a while ago, but his testimony and subsequent public interviews are master classes in what it means to put the country before partisanship. I strongly disagree with his judicial philosophy and his conservatism, and find a lot of his views to be antiquated and part of the problem, but he stood up and spoke out when others didn’t. That should still mean something for a judge, who rarely go public like this.
Too little, too late. The election is next week
It's not too late. You will always remember what you did at this point. If Harris fucks up the economy or takes let's immigrants in, how much is that to risk vs the alternative?
Trump will fuck up the economy, and will probably encourage vigalante lynchings of anyone whose not nazi enough. they'll start with the immigrants and when they run out of those go to LGBTQ+, or women or whoever.
The problem they won't have an answer to, and the reason fascism eventually always fails, is that eventually, you run out of people to hate. there is no one ideologically pure enough; no matter what standard the zealots take.
As much as I’m not a fan of this guy’s belief system, he has been speaking out against Trump for years now, this is just his latest.
Should've been speaking out against all the Republicans before Trump. Republicans like to act like Trump happened in a vacuum. All he is is just the human form of the Republican platform for the past 60 years saying the quiet parts out loud
…or last week, depending on where you live and how you vote.
