There are absolutely conservative subs that will ban you before you make a post.

Why do you call "looking up what epidemiologists think we should do" groupthink? Why is it such a crime, to you, for me to believe there are people who know more than I do about some topics?
I strongly believe any viable presidential candidate does not know enough about epidemiology to even assess the threat adequately, and any president who doesn't pay someone who knows what they're talking about to give good advice is a dumbass. And I would be a dumbass, too, if I tried to DIY pandemic advice without looking up what experts in the field thought. You're asking people to behave like self-important morons.

I think corrupt business practices and inciting an insurrection with armed people tearing through people's offices and stealing things are pretty good reasons to not like a president even without them being policy positions. What do specific policy positions matter if he also runs on a platform of undermining the electoral process? He never found any kind of widespread fraud but he continues to claim even wider fraud to set the groundwork for destabilizing the country when he loses. But if you want specific, self-contained policy features, I think he's a little bitch for setting a timeline for pulling out of Afghanistan that was far too fast, after doing nothing for four years to make it tenable, so that Biden would get blamed for it. I think he killed close to a million people by dismantling the CDC and then leaning into the "don't tell me what to do" perspective of anti-mask anti-vax nonsense. I think appointing DeJoy and dismantling 10% of mail sorting machines while a pandemic was making vote-by-mail necessary was election manipulation. There are plenty of other, specific, damning things that he did, and plenty of ways that his slogan of "draining the swamp" turned into "corruption is fine when our guys are benefiting, and actually we should do more of it." I also think the number of things he's said in support of using the executive to punish people for outperforming himself or others he's allied with in elections is horrifying, and anyone so anti-democratic should be off anyone's card entirely; hating liberal ideology and wanting to stop people who think that way from holding power is not a good enough reason, in my mind, for destroying the country and installing a wanna-be dictator, and pretending like he hasn't said he wants to be a dictator isn't a reasonable or considered position any more.
