Moderate Republicans, please do the right thing here. Whether or not you, personally, are pleased with the verdicts resulting from a stacked Supreme Court, please remember that having a stacked Supreme Court is not a feature of a healthy republic—stacked in either direction. If Trump wins, this court has the potential to become insanely stacked for decades to come.
Checks and balances should not become a relic of the past. I don't need to explain to you what could happen if unbridled power is given to any branch of the federal government. And if we have an insanely stacked Supreme Court plus even a tenth of Project 2025 implemented? (You know, that thing that Trump "knows nothing"* about?) During the presidency of a man who is already worshipped as no populist has been in this country ever before?
Please do the right thing, even if you have sacrifice your own discomfort on a few issues. Keeping this country in the lane of "republic" is issue No. 1.
You are free-thinking moderate Republicans, not Trump sycophants. You don't have to change your ticket or change your mind on a single issue to do this. Just, for the love of God, please do the right thing.

*Please refer to the "Know Nothings," a.k.a. the American Party from 1844–1860. I think you'll find several disturbingly familiar themes, especially re: xenophobia.
When you see the news about all of the heinous Supreme Court decisions that were just made please remember that every single one is a direct result of the fact that Donald Trump was the president from 2016-2020 and Hillary Clinton was not. And there are two conservative justices who will likely retire as soon as a second Trump term begins so he can appoint younger people and enshrine conservatism on the court for another 50+ years. So. Please vote. It will at least give us a fighting chance to get our rights back sooner
