(7,604 posts)The much bigger issue is the likely acquittal of Trump, again. This will be catastrophic for the future of the nation. And you know what?
The entire world is watching democracy crumble.
It's crumbling on LIVE TELEVISION. It's being broadcast all around the globe.
Dictators are rejoicing. Russia is peeing in their collective pants with glee. They finally realized their dream: WE WILL BURY YOU.
Believe me, I hope I'm wrong. But the GOP wants Trump to prevail. It doesn't matter whether they believe that they have no choice. It doesn't matter that they feel terrorized by Trump's worshippers. Their beliefs, their rationalizations, mean nothing. What matters is what they do. And what they are doing is protecting Trump, and preserving his opportunity to lord over them for the rest of his days. They are waiting for him to stage another political campaign, and to sweep over the nation once again. And THEY will be rewarded, or so they think.
Nationwide, the GOP brand will be trashed. More will abandon the party, until only Trumpers are left. It may mean that the GOP's approval rating will drop precipitously, but they don't intend on winning an election to get back into power. They intend to overthrow the government. And that attempt will occur sooner than we all think.
