I agree with all of these points. A very big problem I have is Team Blue will never let go of 3 and 4, so nothing heals and we don’t move forward as a country. They vote for inferior candidates based on this logic. it will happen in the midterms and it will happen in 2024. Team Red has to move on from Trump ASAP also. The tail wagging the dog is very frustrating to the average voter.
You have to consider that our democracy was very lucky to escape with a transfer of power. As former federal judge and Republican testified before the January 6th Committee:
"I have written, as you said, Chairman Thompson, that today, almost two years after that fateful day in January 2021, that still Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy. That's not because of what happened on January 6th. It's because, to this very day, the former president, his allies, and supporters pledge that, in the presidential election of 2024, if the former president or his anointed successor as the Republican Party presidential candidate were to lose that election, that they would attempt to overturn that 2024 election in the same way that they attempted to overturn the 2020 election, but succeed in 2024 where they failed in 2020. I don't speak those words lightly."
When those potential allies proudly identify themselves during their political campaigns, they're disqualified and I instantly become a one issue voter.
