The simple binary outcome of this election is that either Trump or Harris will win. What we have, again, is many on what I am calling the Public Right declaring Trump unfit for office or that they will not vote for him. This helps Harris get elected. There is no squirming out of that. They can say they are being principled all they want to. It does not matter. They can sleep soundly at night, knowing their principles dictated helping Harris, who in theory, stands against everything in which they believe, win.
Thus, I will lay part of the blame for a Trump loss at the feet of the Public Right who did not support him. These include all the Never Trumpers at NRO, and anyone with any voice, any sense of public communications. In the battleground states, a few votes may make the difference. Those few votes could well be swayed by hearing the anti-Trump Public Right come around to supporting Trump.
It is clear to me that those not supporting Trump on the Public Right just don't care. They don't care what Biden has done to the nation, they don't care what Harris will do. It's all OK. No worries. All that is important is they feel good about themselves. Ironically, this is just like the voters on the left. All that matters to them is feeling good about themselves.
Maybe the anti-Trump Public Right is not so on the Right after all.

Absolutely true. Just like in 2020.

You say "binary", but "support" is an analog thing.
Being Public Right and saying you are not going to vote for Trump is not supporting him.
