In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

I have a very real fear that even if a truly progressive democratic candidate runs for president, they still won't win.

I get what you mean, but remember that many people voted for Trump because they wanted change, not because they were exceptionally thrilled about his bigotry. The Bernie-Trump pipeline is a very real phenomenon (see also AOC-Trump voters) and makes the GOP seem like they have more popular support than they really do.

I don't see it that way, where are these supposed trump regretting folk? I haven't seen them. I thought I saw one in a friend I miss, and then he spews the qanon bullshit that passes for doge talking points.

By overwhelming majority, they're cool with this. This is America, when someone shows you who they are, believe them.
