This is a discussion where I have briefly provided my opinions. Yes, some of what I have stated is unsubstantiated. How are you any different? Is it your stance that I can't or shouldn't offer an opinion that hasn't been substantiated, but you along with the mass media are good to go with unsubstantiated claims? Regarding false beliefs, what have I stated that is (substantively) false?
Regarding Trump's perceived tearing down of the country (or not preserving it), I would be interested in someone articulating an argument that this is true. He was the victim of a which hunt in both the Russian collusion mess and the impeachment, and he's blamed for all corona virus deaths. He is constantly mischaracterized with the "there were good people on both sides" comment and constantly falsely accused of not denouncing white supremacy. This only begins to describe the war on Trump. I see why people think he's torn the country apart, but none of the "war on Trump" items I just referenced is substantiated - and some are just plain (substantively) false.
On the other hand, Trump cares about our border which is something Democrats as recent as Obama used to care about. He cares about what's going on in the middle east and has gotten us out of a terrible Iran nuclear deal - has not started any wars and is bringing troops home - and is brokering peace between Israel and other countries, which is a big deal despite people like Pelosi calling it "Trump's distraction". He got rid of the awful NAFTA agreement and implemented a much better USMCA deal. He cut taxes and regulation, which contributed to an incredible economy with average family income going up five times more in three years than Obama's admin in eight years. We had incredibly low unemployment (prior to the pandemic), and among the lowest GDP loss of any major economy following the pandemic. His willingness to sign Criminal justice reform and introduce opportunity zones and a host of others things benefiting underserved communities are things Obama could of done but didn't. Our military is stronger now than in the prior administration, and we are energy independent. Both of which are significant. Trump cares about the integrity of the Supreme Court. That he has nominated conservative judges doesn't negate this belief. Trump could have sought to pack the court a long time ago. He didn't. Knowing what we know about Democrat wishes to pack the court, perhaps Trump should have sought to pack the court already? Much of what Trump has overseen is worth preserving.
And unlike what many Democrats wish they could do, Trump will not open the border and pay for healthcare and education for all who enter illegally. He won't defund police, which would bring more harm into underserved communities rather than reduce it. He won't kill energy sector jobs and recommend mine workers go learn to code. He will not participate in the programming of black people to become devoid of the diversity of thought. He won't pack the Supreme Court. He won't push to greatly modify or eliminate the 1st or 2nd amendments. He won't support abortion all the way until the moment of birth. He won't abolish the electoral college. He won't lower the voting age to 16. He won't add states to gain additional representatives and senators for his own party. He won't raise taxes and implement regulations that would drive businesses away rather than attract them. He won't denounce America's constitution or the great parts of America's history.
Trump is mean and an inarticulate buffoon, but either he has good instincts or has taken good advice on many of his policies. Gallup's recent poll indicating 55% of Americans say they are better off now than four years ago is stunning given how lopsided the media, Hollywood and much of the public portrays Trump - and all the more stunning given this pandemic. Unsubstantiated you could say, yes. The preponderance of evidence indicating a favorable view of Trump - and a push back against progressive radical ideas (and a lot of nonsense), makes Trump's reelection predictable despite such hatred for Trump and the thus far lopsided polling in favor of Biden.
