7. I believe that his actions will harden the opposition to him.

Decent people, whether they are liberal, moderate or conservative are being revulsed by Trump’s actions, the disregard for the rule of law, the often open appeal to racists and haters. Those people appear to inherently realize that society and social order as has existed can’t for long survive Trump’s behavior and absolutely won’t survive if Trump prevails and future politicians emulate his behavior.

I knew a conservative ex-Marine who fought in Vietnam. A decent, quiet and charitable person. He ignored the open appeal to racism and the darkest elements of a person’s soul that Trump telegraphed in 2016 and voted for Trump. Now, each day for him brings shame and worry as he now realized that Trump won’t grow into the job and become a larger person. So, a person like him, if he can’t bring himself to vote for Biden, will sit out the election, and I see that as a win for the democracy that he ignored in 2016 as he was lured in by a grotesque conman.
