The exact opposite. Right wingers who refuse to vote for Trump (because they understand how dangerous and depraved he is) are much better and more caring than those who vote for him.
People who vote for Harris (because they understand the obvious need to keep Trump out of office, and also understand that he would make the Gaza situation even worse) are making a more sensible, responsible choice than those who stay home or vote 3rd party.
Bonus points for right wingers (usual Republican voters) who vote for Harris.
Look, I acknowledge that this is a very painful situation, and anyone who has seen the footage of devastation and suffering in Gaza will feel anger and frustration. It's normal to want retribution when you see something like that, and it's amplified many fold if your friends or family members are victims of the carnage.
It is never my intent to shame or scold anyone. Those who don't think they can bring themselves to vote for Harris because of Gaza - I mean them no ill will, and I don't think they deserve to be called any names. All I'm saying is look, will you please think this over and give some more consideration toward voting for Harris? Trump will make things worse for everyone - Gaza, America, and the entire world! Is getting revenge on Democrats really worth all that?

Then 3/4 of the States have to ratify it. How does he get around that short of a military coup?

The Supreme Court has shown that they have no hesitation in interpreting the constitution in bizarre, nonsensical ways. Besides, there's nothing in the constitution that says he can't run as VP in 2028, and the newly inaugurated president steps down on day 1, allowing him to become president again.
