4. What bothered me the most was the lack of discernment

between the kind of person Biden and Harris are, and the kind of person Trump is. It's difficult for me to fathom how anyone can make any kind of moral equivalency.

Biden did not cause the situation that unfolded after October 7th. It was thrust into his lap like the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.

And to me, it was always pretty clear that the orchestrated protests naming him Genocide Joe (followed by Killer Kamala) were a way to turn the election. I am sure that plenty of the participants didn't go out to protest just to get Trump elected, but that was a byproduct. It is hard for me to feel a whole lot of sympathy now that the Dearborn community is experiencing some buyer's remorse (though I will try). But I just cannot understand how they couldn't appraise the character difference between Harris and Trump. It's not as if they are marginally different. The gap is wider than the Grand Canyon.
