The charges against Trump aren't relevant to every other problem the country is facing.  Correct.
In fact, they aren't relevant to most of the problems this country is facing.
However, none of these problems, even the ones that are Biden's fault, are any excuse to vote for Trump. Main reason, Trump would lose the general election, and I would rather a Republican deal with reducing the massive interest payments and inflation we are about to see, but secondary reason, Trump is certainly going to try to end elections as we know them and craft a military that is more loyal to the Republican party than to the Constitution if he gets a second chance at power. He probably won't succeed but he will have 4 years to try. 
Me talking about him only bothers you because you still want him to win in 2024, right?  
Because if enough people on this board promise not to vote for Trump, I won't bring him up as often.

I don't think anyone is looking for an excuse to vote for Trump, his support base is fiercely loyal and already formed.  However, I don't see it to be anywhere near as massive as you believe or the media claims.  For the nth time, simply stating the one has not yet seen EVIDENCDE definitively proving criminal actions, is NOT AN EXPRESSION OF POLITICAL SUPPORT!  

The whole point here is that Trump is not an excuse for Biden and all of the failed policies of the Left, but we can't even discuss those issues without you chiming in with, "But Trump......"

You are over-the-top paranoid about this guy.  Lie to yourself if you want, but it's fairly obvious that the priority of your main and secondary reasons is misrepresented.   End elections as we know them?  What's he going to do with his "crafted military", appoint himself the Supreme Leader of the Dark Side?

Your constant talking about him bothers me because it restricts my ability to have a meaningful discussion about other issues, not because of the 2024 election.  Personally, I don't want him as the Republican nominee.
