It is ironic that a party run by people who were middle aged in 1968 has seemingly no collective memory or knowledge of that convention or why you might try to avoid that if Trump is actually an existential threat.
Being intractable on basically everything gives away they honestly don’t think he’s an existential threat, though. It’s a pretty big tell. If they honestly thought Trump was going to throw them in Gitmo next January, they’d be willing to give Netanyahu a sad or end the banking prohibition on state legal weed stores or any number of low-hanging fruit, easy wins they don’t take because they don’t want to give the hippies a win more than they actually care if Trump wins.
It’s incredible to me that the usual peepanists from readtheory.ml will say this and then when you respond “so you’re with me on deleting trump as hard as possible from political viability to take that tool away from the democrats” they will be like “no”
Trump is to the Democrats as the Border is to Republicans, or as Hamas is to Bibi. A good boogeyman that secures your power without having to change anything.

Trump is their greatest tool, they can do nothing and point to him saying “You’ll get that if you don’t support us”.
They need him to be a threat and have a chance of winning for that to continue.
