Restricting voting to actual citizens and ending the whole "mail in ballots" facade would be good in general, but I don't really think thats enough.

I think Trump voters are now split into 3 camps: (a) See this as a disaster, sizable portion will sit out election, (b) Will actively vote democrat, (c) MAGA truth social hardcores will still vote R, but numbers aren't enough.

The A and B camps have been exaggerated by doomers and the opposition since he came down the escalater. Literally every week for the past 10 years Trump has said or done something to annoy those people. And what happened when the anti-Trump crowd won out? Russia invaded Ukraine and we got 4 years of open borders, vaccine mandates, welfare fraud, and all the usual blue team shit. For nothing.

Political game theory predicts that the most extreme wing of the party accomplishes the most for the platform. That's just how the numbers play out. Democrats don't differentiate between C and moderates. They'd throw all of us in jail. So everyone has to line up with C for the time being or the country becomes California, a second Europe, a failed state.
