There won't be 70 to 80m votes for Trump this time around... But we'll be watching from a safe distance anyway.

This. All of it. Yes, the notion is sickening.

Democracy must be preserved at all costs. There is no such thing as a benevolent dictator. History has shown us time and time again that no form of dictatorship works.

Lol, so how many have you read? Apparently you are unaware of this thing called a "TABLE OF CONTENTS" in most pdfs so one can read documents as time allows. Of course I only had to read to page five to see the following:

"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing Mr. Biden's handwritten entries about issues of national security and foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods. FBI agents recovered these materials from the garage, offices, and basement den in Mr. Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home." Page 5, Special Prosecutor's report.

and:

"In reaching our decision, we did not consider every circumstance in which criminal charges against a former president or vice president for mishandling classified information may be warranted." Page 15


and:

"Therefore, Mr. Biden's possession of those materials in unsecured spaces in his home after his vice presidency was unauthorized within the meaning of the Espionage Act." Page 184

Not my "glorious leader", if I had the choice of another candidate who stood a chance of beating a senile, old man (Biden) whose has flip-flopped on most majority Christian values he ever had for political expediency, I would vote for he/she over Trump. There just isn't one.

Tens of millions of those voters are Christian conservatives such as myself whose only choice will be Trump or the present administration's "woke", anti-Christian values. 'Lesser of two evils.'

Well no, they're not. I've studied the teachings of Jesus, and am rather keen to find out why you seem to believe that Biden is anti-Christian.

"In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended ("if it was 2013 -when did I stop being Vice President?"), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ("in 2009, am I still Vice President?").839 He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.81rn And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he "had a real difference" of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama.Sil" Page 212 Special Prosecutor's report

100 years ago woke was a term used to watch out for social and racial injustice. Now it is a buzzword or dog whistle for anything the right does not like. IMHO...
