“Quite the opposite. They need Trump to get more exposure to rally their base. There is nothing more motivating to many Dems than opposing Trump. Trump has successfully been branded as the symbol of all the evil the left claims all conservatives represent. Sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, mysogynist.”
There’s a lot of truth in that. The last election wasn’t between Trump and Biden, but Trump vs Anti-trump. Nobody voted FOR Sock Puppet, he was just a check box for the Anti-trump voter.
