My problem with Trump is that same as in 2020. Even being in election fraud, I still expected him to become the elder statement of the party moving forward. But instead, he kept the same combative personality, the same name calling, the same alienating of the middle voter that cost the 2020 election. MAGA, as a brand, has become toxic. It even feels divisive to me.

He is still a force for fixing the country, a lion, an indomitable figure, but he still doesn’t have the middle voter. Instead of unifying the party in the past 3 years, grooming a successor, replacing the RNC leadership, we are where we are today.
