In my recent post Trump’s at the End of His Rope, I made the point that the evidence of Trump’s guilt in the 91 felony counts he faces, especially the testimony of dozens, maybe hundreds of eyewitnesses, is about to crush his political viability like a grape. In response, a reader notes: Maybe, but that doesn’t take care of the (low-life) that follow him.
Good point. I have a feeling, however, that cutting off the head of the snake, as it were, will take a great deal of life out of the MAGA movement, and especially in congress.
Image that you’re a lawmaker from a red state and you know that, without Trump’s support, you’re toast in your election. Once Trump’s gone, you have far more freedom to act according to whatever minor level of decency and integrity you may possess.
It’s incorrect to say that “liberals are furious” on this matter. We’re deeply disappointed that about one-third of our population is a blend of greedy pigs and hateful idiots.
I was on a Zoom call this morning with some people who were weighing in on this question: Is the damage caused by the Trump administration in terms of losing our claim to be a moral, democratic leader on this planet permanent, or can it be repaired over time?
We were unable to reach a consensus. Some said that the nation in the modern era is swinging as if on a pendulum. We had a gentleman and an extremely accomplished intellectual in the person of Obama, following by a despicable thug (Trump); the pendulum can swing back once more.
Very few people object to Donald Trump on the basis that he’s a capitalist. All 340 million of us live in a capitalist country, one that has done just fine for itself over the last 250 years.
On the other hand, the vast majority of Americans reject Trump as a lifelong criminal, now sucking the life out of the common citizen, and throwing away our country’s former glory so as to further enrich himself.
