[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Trump began his time as President by disclosing intelligence information. Intelligence and military officials have disclosed that he had little or no interest in understanding military deployments, international security, and they had to dumb down their briefing sessions with him. 
He has no respect for the country's laws and institutions, least of all our Constitution. When he was told that the Vice President was being threatened with lynching, his response was "so what?" When he was told that armed individuals were showing up at his rally in DC on January 6, he wanted them let in. If the people who attacked the Capitol had been left-wing, he would have cheerfully called for authorities to just shoot them. Instead, he told these people he loved them. 
He tried to leverage Ukraine's request for military assistance by demanding personal favors. 
Before he was president, he was a swindler who did not pay his debts and defrauded people who bought into his promotion of Trump University, thinking they too could gain wealth. 
Whatever his statements about the border, he himself employed undocumented immigrants at his golf resorts. 
Although other politicians have cheated on their spouses, only Trump has boasted about his sexual aggression towards women, and only Trump has been found to pay off a prostitute in order to protect his political ambitions.

Probably for most people, who gets elected president does not have a huge impact on their daily lives. For others, the impact can be staggering--such is if you are a woman in Texas with a pregnancy complication and end up having to risk death from sepsis because Trump appointed justices who would overturn Roe v Wade, and they did just that, enabling the state of Texas to enact and enforce the very laws that would endanger that woman.

But it's not just about whether we get personal advantage or disadvantage based on who is president. If I were a member of a middle-class household in Germany in the 30s--and not Jewish, not Catholic, not a Socialist, and not disabled--life might work out pretty well for me. But in the end it would be on my conscience what happened to other people in order to make me more prosperous.

It's also about the system of government we have, the one to which, to become a citizen, I think you had to swear allegiance to. Do you remember that oath? It includes "I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America." Guess what, you have seen this former president do everything he possibly could to attack that Constitution and those laws--even before he skedaddled with boxes of classified documents he had no legal right to stash in his bathroom. 
So, please just think about that.
