So far nothing of real significance has happened to him, and there are still opportunities for fuckery everywhere.
My bet is that it ends badly for him, but he’s wriggled out of many many things before, and he has the House and SCOTUS backing him, as well as every republican state legislature.
I’m scared, frankly. We can all pretend we know what’s going to happen, but we don’t and we haven’t the entire time. He hasn’t been convicted of anything and a good 40% of the country want it to stay that way.
20-25% of the country, max. And it’s the same 20-25% that has voted wannabe dictators into office this whole time.
40% is based on his polling with republicans and assuming they make up a full half of the electorate. They do not. 50% don’t usually vote, so you have to basically halve any percentage when it’s just d vs r.
Literally unprecedented 4 indictments more on the way, the evidence and witness testimony is incredibly damning in basically all of them, he majority of the nation is taking it seriously, etc
Nothing of real significance eh? Fuck off doomer, no doubt you’ve been crying “nothing will ever happen” since 2016
I think you’re misreading this. I’ve been varying levels of nauseous for 7 years now and every single hour of every single one of those days, I’ve screamed internally, “something is going to be done, this will get better, he will be stopped.” And absolutely nothing happens. It just gets worse and worse and it’s been deeply destructive to my mental health. It’s emotionally safer to distance yourself from this. Pessimism is a shield against the arrows of disappointment.
I won’t feel safe until that man expires while serving several lifetime sentences behind bars and all of his followers are shunned into obscurity. If then. Such is the nature of trauma.
I recommend listening to Legal AF. They’re lawyers following the Trump case, and I think they’ll give you some hope and a good perspective on how fucked Trump is (the episode titles are a bit clickbait-y, but the core information is good). It’s helped me not completely give up and say, “Well, rich people always get off scot free.”
Trump hasn’t seen justice, yet, but he also hasn’t been to court except to be arraigned. We all want justice yesterday, but he’ll have to defend himself for real early next year.
I said “so far” and that “it was likely to end badly”.
Thought experiment: all the cases are thrown out on procedural grounds tomorrow.
Would you feel like the inconvenience of a few court dates, an embarrassing photo, and some expenses borne by his dupes corresponded to the gravity of what he is alleged to have done?

Oh, well if 40% want it that way I guess there nothing to be done :(
:(
The 40% that already tried one coup because he asked nicely. Who knows what kind of crazy they try now.

I wouldn’t.
91 indictments isn’t insignificant
