trumpers keep telling me "ah, you're just going after trump because you're afraid he'll win," which is way up there with some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
1. First, President Biden has beaten him already. Badly. By 7 million votes. And that was BEFORE he racked up an historic number of jobs, and did infrastructure, brought back manufacturing to the US, and lowered insulin prices for Americans.
2. Even without all of the indictments, without even one, trump is severely damaged goods. In fact, he's probably the weakest candidate that President Biden could face.
And I'm saying that in a world where Nikki Haley and Mike Pence are still running for some reason.
3. Most of us still believe that law and order matters. That when the law is broken, there are consequences. And trump broke A LOT of laws. Shit, he's the guy who infamously bragged that his supporters are so lawless and stupid, he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes.
And so far, those cultish trumpers have proven him right. No amount of tape recordings, video surveillance, testimony from people HE HIRED, none of it will shake them.
But they don't determine what laws get followed and which laws don't count "because you're famous."
He's never won the popular vote, he's been impeached twice, and he's been indicted 3 times (soon to be 4 times).
It's not because he's an asshole, and he is a trumptanic asshole. AGAIN, it's because he's an out-of-control walking crime factory. A fucking judge had to tell him not to threaten anyone and what did he do? Exactly that.
So I'm not saying it's impossible for him to win against President Biden, because we've already lived through 2016.
But him facing consequences has nothing to do with any fear of him winning, I worry more about other candidates Republicans could run.
I want trump to face all of the legal consequences for his actions because he has skated through life thinking he is above the law, done things the rest of us would already be in prison for, and it's time for him to get his legal comeuppance.
And yeah, also because he's a racist, rapist, insurrectionist motherfucker.
