The fascist anti American GOP party is currently doing whatever they can to steal the 2022 and 2024 elections through bogus right wing voter restriction laws and putting in Trump stooges as election officials to overturn the results when they lose. Criminal Donald won't be a factor in 2024 because he will be indicted long before 2024. His financial crimes in New York is enough to send him to prison not to mention the felony election fraud he engaged in by demanding the Georgia Secretary of State to "find him votes". There's also the insurrection and coup attempt he will be indicted for.
Criminal Donald's popularity in the GOP continues to slide. Only 60 something percent now only want him to run in 2024.
Clearly, on the recorded phone calls to the Georgia Secretary of State, Trump is guilty. A defense of “It’s not trying to steal an election because I honestly believe I won the election” can be used by anyone stealing an election.
However, there is one problem.
Question:
Are any of the charges that can be brought against Trump be resolved by a judge? Or are they all subject to jury trials? If all would be jury trials, it’s hard to get a jury with no MAGA members. Prospective jurors can lie to get on the jury. Just one is enough to result in a hung jury, and the juror who save Trump would become a big hero.
I don’t hold out much hope for getting a conviction of Trump regardless of his guilt or the evidence.
The GOP doesn't need Trump because they have an entire party of Trump wannabes who can fill his spot. All you need is one right winger that parrots the same Trump fascist and racist rhetoric and the cult will fall right in line.
Democrats are working hard to get a voting rights act passed which will void all these unconstitutional right wing voting restriction laws. That's why Ted Cancun Cruz was screaming about Texas leaving the union.
Yes. The danger to the country will outlive Trump, and outlive me. For the first time, tens of millions of Americans are aware that there are tens of millions of other Americans with racist views, want changes to make fundamental changes. And are willing to subvert democracy to do that. The willingness to turn against democracy, to want their way over the will of the majority, through bad election officials, through gerrymandering, whatever it takes, is very troubling.
The ultimate protection of democracy, is having a large majority willing to allow the majority to get their way, so long as they have a majority. That, more than laws, more than tradition, is what protects democracy. And we are close enough to the tipping point that a little cheating, a few corrupt election officials, enough gerrymandering, can allow a large, determine and unprincipled minority to make it happen. While the danger will be with us, the next four years are the greatest danger. If we can get through that, I think we will be alright.
