I remind myself that:
1. During his 2020 campaign, which he certainly lost, Djt had not yet incited and allowed his violent
followers to trash the Capitol for hours and take lives and threaten the lives of officials.
2. After repeated denials of the legitimacy of the 2020 election, multiple court cases disproved him.
3. During most of Djt's rerun for office, he was indicted in both criminal and civil cases and found guilty of felony.
4. The switch last summer from Biden to Harris has strongly reignited more and more confidence, enthusiasm and focus in the Democratic campaign. It's also bringing on board many more prominent anti-Djt-ers
