Undecided voter = person who cannot discern truth

I don't understand how there are undecided voters this election... I understand trump voters. Ride or die republicans, bigots, wealthy people that want more money for themselves. They are fucked up, but they make sense.

But how are you undecided? What are you weighing up. If you're not in the aforementioned groups, what single positive thing does trump offer?

I've seen some people try the free speech angle. But that isn't true either. Neither he nor Elon are actually about free speech.

No, they're inherently more anti free speech than the people they're puroportedly against, anyone using that justification is either ignorant or only cares about not getting in trouble for being a bigot

My guess is the Palestinian issue which puts people on the fence. Both parties would still support the Israeli government.

Both parties would still support the Israeli government.

Exactly, and Trump is so much worse in everything else, not to mention that he'd also be worse in the very Palestinian issue you're concerned about! Even with this issue in the equation I still don't understand it

Well, I'm not American so I cannot feel the existential dilemma between picking a genocider or ride or die genocider. But if I am electing, I certainly don't want to feel being forced to pick either two. I imagine many Americans probably feel uncomfortable with that as well.

Additionally, another factor with Trump still polling remarkably well is because a lot of people perceive the economy under Trump to be better. Take it as you will, but people under economic pressure feel forced to pick the extreme. People typically value economic security over liberty, unfortunately.
