So here's a question, what happens when a bunch of democrat states take Trump off the ballot, and a bunch of republican states take Biden off. Can an election even go forward at that point? (lemmygrad.ml)

Colorado supreme court ruled that they can take Trump off the ballot, now it looks like California is trying to do that as well. Meanwhile, republican states are threatening to retaliate in kind.

This seems unprecedented for US, does anybody know what happens in this scenario?

They'll vote for whoever has an R by their name. It doesn't matter who it is.

Only if they’re charismatic and roughly aligned with their ideals. The charisma why Trump blew it out of the water but McCain floundered. Someone like DeSantis looks and sounds like an actual demon, and the only supporters of his I’ve seen have been actual deranged Nazis.

I also stand by it that a large number of republicans would never vote for a black, brown, POC, indigenous, LGBT, or Asian candidate. Their campaign would be dead in the water.

I mean, Trump has some pretty queeny vibes and it didn't scare off the republican man'o'sphere types.
