that’s really saying something.

Is it though? By definition centrists are much farther to the right than the left is, so your thinking more highly of trumpers speaks more about you and why you guys lost than it does about anyone else. Good old centrism: half donkey, half elephant, always a failure.

When I say I think more highly about Trumpers than I do about single issue voters who handed Trump the presidency because they were too ignorant and short-sighted to see what they were doing, I mean by the smallest of margins possible. Both these groups of people fall in the "gutter" category for me. But with Trumpers, I've already written them off. They never gave me reason to believe they were anything else than what they are. Up until November 5, 2024 I gave the single issue voters some credit, assuming most of them would pull their heads out of their asses long enough to do the right thing.

I was wrong.

I somehow have less respect for someone that SHOULD be able to pull their heads out of their asses than someone who just had their heads up there the whole time and were open about it.
