Somehow This Feels Different

[WiVoter]

I hesitate to get my hopes up, but today does feel like a game changer. What do you think?

[Claustrum]

1. I feel different too.

I watch youtube video clips from the hearing instead of the whole hearing. There was less "republican trolls" in the comment sections before. Minutes after the clips are posted today, like 10-20 of those trolls are spamming the comment section in today's videos. It feels like they are worried so they try to make the comment unreadable so people don't discuss what they saw.

2. Sadly, I fear all we will succeed in doing is securing the nomination for desatan.

Problem is Donnie is not remotely the only authoritarian *sshole in the Republican Party.

3. The undoing of Donald Trump,

especially if the true depths of his depravity are finally revealed, will set the entire Republican Party back for decades.

[Totally Tunsie]

4. Let's hope that's "when" rather than "if".

[ZZenith]

6. I do hope that.

I most fervently do.

12. We can certainly hope. But we know republicans will distance themselves from him if that happens

And the media will cover for them. They will be complicit in making sure Donnie's crimes don't damage the Republican Party or desatan or anyone outside Donnie's inner circle.

And the Republican rank and file may give up on Donnie but they will latch on to whoever replaces him.

Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.

15. We can hope they SPLIT the votes?

I can see TFG running as a write in? He won't want to be a loser again.

17. Ooh that would be sweet

5. No optimism here n/t

[ZZenith]

7. Thanks for letting us know.

[hibbing]

10. Everyone else is chiming in and I did too

But thanks for the snark.

9. We've seen too much evidence of criminality exposed without subsequent prosecutions/convictions

for me to feel different this time. Not yet.

Maybe after indictments of people in the political class actually happen, if they do.

[WiVoter]

13. Yet Is The Operative Word

I agree.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

11. Yes, it feels different to me.

Trump is finished politically.

Now indictments and convictions seem to be looming.

This isn't "the end," but it feels like the beginning of the end.

[TomSlick]

14. The evidence continues to grow. Each day's evidence is more damning.

The remedy lies with the DoJ. The country needs an indictment and trial.

16. What would change? To what result?
