Trump will win the 2020 election

F. F. S.
You are wrong on the "Both Sides" polarization.
More prominent republicans have crossed sides to endorse Biden than any candidate has received cross endorsements in history.
Okay.
For the record, I still think that trump will win reelection.
Maine might be on the right track with ranked choice voting.
I'm a fan.
Wouldn’t this require him to win an election first?

That's interesting, but did any of those other past candidates, who are now behind Biden on the list of receiving cross endorsements, actually won with their opponent? I'd like to know that, because from my experience, gestures in politics are usually dirt cheap and worth close to nothing.
Did Ronald Reagan win?
But anyways, the purpose of the post is not about the efficacy of endorsements, but question the state of traditional political polarization.
We are seeing a new political realignment.

Yeah, Reagan got cross endorsements... he of all candidates. Who would've thought that about the DP. Interesting drawing parallels between Trump & Carter. According to the latter, the most intense and mounting opposition to his policies came from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. But Biden is definitely not Reagan, so 2020 won't work like 1980 did.
But anyhow, I agree with the passing state of traditional political polarization, since the usual choice between good and evil slowly transcends into having to choose the lesser evil. Ironically, Trump's grossness and crudity managed to sensitize the American electorate for the more subtle shades of democracy and as a German, I can only say: welcome to the club.
The pro-Trump voices are really ramping up in Michigan because of a recent visit. Mentally I've checked out. I've been working some side jobs and I really just can't handle the unnecessary stress of this contentious election. I've been ignoring most of the text messages from pro-Trump family members.
I'm not sure what they're expecting. Am I supposed to listen to their bullshit about him and be like "oh yeah he totally is going to get my vote now"? I think they just like to fight and argue and feel like they're fulfilling their duty by shitting on the anti-Trump people. This is one of the primary reasons why I don't want Trump to win is because he has the most obnoxious supporters in the history of the United States ... Well at least in my lifetime.
I'm still on the belief that he will win, though. Make no mistake, this is his election to lose. It has nothing to do with Biden. You're either for Trump or against Trump.

Yeah, valid point, one that could get Biden a lot of votes from unexpected places. So at least he'll be the moral winner... On another note, just how important are presidential debates in the US? Is there something to gain for Biden there? Or is it just hot air?
Infowars hit the chaldeans strong. Took a vulnerable group of people and worked their paranoia.
The damage was done back before it got kicked off mainstream channels. A lot of people fully invested in Alex's theories, and still are. They think Soros is actively trying to instigate crises for personal gain, and since they latched onto that story, they end up taking on many other stories, just to self validate.
Alex Jones pretty much admitted to being a phony in his divorce proceedings. Not that it will sway the most dedicated.
Don't forget single issue voters that refuse to see anything past abortion. The dedication to Trump in the chaldean community is akin to a cult leader and his followers. He literally can do no wrong and anything that doesn't fit their world view is automatically fake news.
ICE was deporting people's aunts and uncles and dads and grandmas etc and yet the support for Trump is unwavering. I think it wasn't infowars that started to make Chaldeans turn, but post 9/11 Arab anxiety. The community felt the need to separate itself from Muslims and relied on the religion to separate them.
I just don't think America ever got past 9/11 and its effects are still being felt today.
Maybe they are just a bunch of authoritarians.
