I'm still feeling confident.

My son came over for dinner tonight. He's a 32 year old "guy's guy" if you will. Someone a stranger might assume is a Trumper, but he's not. He has known many of them though, at least ones in his age group. Trump fatigue is real among his peers. They are sick and tired of him. Anecdotal. Just wanted to share.

tired of the day to day b.s., which seems not to end.

Was glad to watch this, and sorry many DUers want to ignore or disparage: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219571728

Really boosted my spirits. Those were older Republican men, Trump's peers, and they not voting for that dictator wannabe. So many good men, speaking out and helping end this gross, deplorable movement.

all you have to do to be rid of him is not vote for him. You're his base, you can make him go away if you want.

The easiest way is just don't vote. But to really make a difference, vote Harris.

They aren't voting for Trump. They might not vote at all, but they are not voting for Trump.

express grave concerns about what this man and his VP intend to do to them as women. To hear these concerns and still be amped up to vote for Trump, a man would have to be a misogynist and, quite possibly, an abuser. That said, this election will essentially turn on the degree to which hatred of women is or can be a motivating factor to vote for a segment of the male population, the size of which is uncertain - since pollsters rarely include the query "Do you hate women?"

But these types of guys are in the minority. Most men don't align with Trump and his creepy cult's message at all.
