That's the next thing in the mess that is US-politics. Trump ist unironically the least worst candiate the Republicans have to offer. Pretty much everybody else is even more racist, bigotted and ultra-conservative, especially in terms of religion.
And on the same flip-side, he's also the one that gets progressive and moderate voters on the Democrat side of things the most. Gawd your country is so fundamentally broken... Things here are bad enough with the AfD, but at least we generally don't have to decide between a turd-sandwich and giant douche.
Eh, I'd compare Biden to something like a... kimchi &... sardine sandwich. You have to choke it down, but it probably won't KILL you. The feces will likely give you cholera. The rest of the GOP are just cyanide-soaked dinner rolls. Yeah, we could still be doing MUCH better, here.

I feel like the gop should just be called the anti-Soviet party.

Honestly, I'm surprised the Un-American Activities Committee hasn't made a comeback, yet.

Eh, I'd disagree with that. The man is fractally loathsome. Every aspect of his character is evil and twisted, from his global policies to the way he eats steaks. I'd be hard pressed to find a single redeeming trait in him, and he stokes up racist mobs with the best of them.

Trump didn't get more popular since the last election, rather the opposite. That was how far the Republicans are able to push and leverage his appeal and he still lost. The issue you should worry about is, voting motivation on the Democrat side of things.
It has long been the opinion of many that the only reason Trump won in 2016 was Hillary Clinton. And I think that's the problem now. Biden's frailty is an electoral liability and pretty much everyone has now had a chance to see the Youtube videos of him falling over and such. Say what you like about Trump, but despite being only 3 years younger than Biden he sure doesn't seem it. Can the latter actually survive another four years? Is a vote for Biden actually a vote for Harris? I would be leaning on that angle every chance I got if I was the Republican candidate right now.
Not much talk is about Trump's own health either. He is three years younger than Biden sure but he isn't exactly healthy himself. His own lifestyle and his eating habits will not do him any favors the older he gets. Despite what he keeps stating about his weight, he is much much heavier than what he is reporting.

Would not surprise me Trump having a fatal heart attack while on the toilet while raging texting in all caps on his Truth Social. In between his third and fourth flushes.

I think it might be a wash in the amount of votes Biden may have lost due to his age and the views of his policies versus Trump losing votes due to him being him and all his legal issues since losing to Biden.

So you'd prefer a President Chris Christie, Mike Pence or Ron DeSantis over a President Trump?

They do that stuff on the Judiciary Committee now. Which is why that committee is weirdly focused on Hunter Biden's dick these days.

Chris Christie would be the best one out of them actually. He would be the most normal Republican in fact. He isn't overly religious if at all, no weird vendettas against Disney or any corporation supporting 'The Gays' or named Trump.

The Democrat side is worse. Just lack of options after Biden? Harris? Hard pass. Aoc? Give her until at least 2028. Anyone else?
