(3,782 posts)His aura of invincibility will be shattered. The J6 rebels will still be in jail. TFG himself will be facing hundreds of millions in court judgements. The stink of failure and losing will be overpowering on him. Nobody will actually risk martyrdom for him because no would-be martyrs will exist to be held up as examples of how they will be treated well and idolized if their mission goes right. His support will bleed off from the edges until even the hardcore center wonders if they are really in the winner's corner. TFG will rail and mug and cry and pout and look increasingly juvenile and foolish as everything he does clearly becomes less and less effective. Like Father Coughlin before him his movement will dissolve back into the elements from which it was forged, a squabbling mess of discontents who can't agree on who needs to be screwed most today.
