already paid quite a price for being who he is. He is a sniveling, insecure coward who may be feared by some, but who has never earned or received the genuine respect he craves from the people he believes are important. (His mob of fans may adore him, but thats not really what he wants).
Hes miserable. He acts smug and arrogant. He pretends. He does really stupid things to promote himself (John Barron? Really? Who does that shit?). He is so afraid of being seen as weak that he tells silly and obvious lies about things like crowd size and hurricane warnings. I suspect losing the 2020 election has been insufferable for him because now his legacy is LOSER, and forever will be.
But I dont think hell be prosecuted. I think the powers that be have decided that the political costs to the country are too great, and that any prosecution would merely give him a platform and a chance at martyrdom. I disagree with that personally - but I understand the reasoning.
The fight now is not against Тяцмp. Its against the facist, racist, anti-democratic monster he awakened in the Republican Party. THAT we can fight and destroy. We have to.
So I dont sweat the Тяцмps gonna get away with it posts. Who cares. But I do worry about the election rigging, the gerrymandering, the voter purges and the suppression laws. Those are real problems. Sounding alarms about that shouldnt be viewed as defeatism, but rather as a call to action. I suppose there is a difference between saying all is lost verses all will be lost if we dont do something, but thats really just semantics.
