Surely your second option: Trump's GOP will destroy the country. This is not just a wolf cry. Words like "lemmings" that have been used are really apt now. People are being led right off the cliff.
Structurally we are doomed. And I am a relatively positive person and hesitant to say this. Democrats and Independents of sanity and good will towards all need to work en masse to overwhelmingly defeat the poison of this GOP this coming election. A vote for third party or sitting home is just as good as voting GOP. it's not just Trump; the GOP is infected. Hang on to your sanity and the truth, it's being assaulted.
Is the Converse true? Do Democrats pick GOOD Senate candidates? Jon Ossoff and Rev. Warnock won their Senate races in (red) Georgia in the general election (with trump on the ballot) and in the following election run-off against trumpian Senate incumbents. Warnock had to run again for a full term.
What blows my mind is that the Republicans last had a 60 vote bloc in 1910. Basically they exist to be the party of no in the Senate. Democrats, hopefully will retain if not expand their seats this cycle, and they can make states of DC (has more population than Vermont or Wyoming) and Puerto Rico (has more population than 20 states) and make things more fair in multiple ways.
We Democrats like to complain that the small state advantage in the Senate makes it easy for Republicans to control it, but there are some small states with large Democratic majorities — Vermont, Delaware and Rhode Island all have smaller populations than Montana. And while California is the biggest state, and gets the same number of Senators as Wyoming, the smallest, the next two largest are Texas and Florida. Yes, when you look at all fifty states, Republicans are disproportionately represented in the Senate, but the imbalance isn’t as big as we often suppose.
If anyone reading this has influence at the DNC or any mega-donors, please promote financially supporting Gloria Johnson’s bid against Marsha Blackburn. TN is ready for change. It can be done!!

I'm soooo ready to vote against Moreno here in Ohio.
Because today's "Republicans" (Trump/Putin Party) are terrrible.
