Ok, so a few posts ago you were leaning towards Trump, but now...what am I reading here? Somehow you are now leaning towards not letting Trump do Trump things?

I assume you're referring to me saying "I lean towards Trump as the slightly safer option", maybe a better way to put it is that I lean further away from Kamala than I lean away from Trump? Neither represent who I'd want to lean towards.

One of the main reasons to not elect Trump I mentioned several times was the level and types of risks that were associated with him and another very big reason is that he owns the Republican party and has been placing his people all over during years. There is no Republican party as you used to know it before him, he has taken it and anyone who dares to oppose goes to the political graveyard.

I don't think he owns everyone who represents a republican, although certainly there are many diehard supporters on the right. And there are many diehard supporters on the left. Overall, both candidates here represented too many risks on each side for me, that's why it felt like the extreme's of both sides were running, which creates more division between people with different opinions. There are many republicans that I don't think really like Trump, some maybe not as outspoken as others.

Whatever opossition was there, after the level of popular support on this campaign, it is over. It is a lot about the money and there is a lot of money after setting tariffs and giving corporation tax breaks. I do not picture any Republican oposing the main points of Trump agenda including all those that make the risk I mentioned more likely after his election.

Well, whatever happens the world will adapt - I mean unless there is a nuclear war or the like.
