This is politics and optics, not a math equation.
Evidence doesn’t matter, sadly.
Trump lost the midterms, and the wobblers are going to abandon him. His family and associates are going to be under more pressure, and more will flip in order to survive.
Stop thinking like this is parley pro in high school, and start thinking show trials and Machiavelli. Truth, evidence, facts, don’t play a part here. Power does. Power and influence are all that matters, and Trump just lost a lot of it.
Trump knows that I fear. He will sell you and I out to survive. I expect a rather harsh anti 2nd amendment bill early next year, and more taxes. Couple that with a rather severe economic downturn (baked into the cake BTW), and Trump will become a very democrat “Republican”.
And many here will bleat about 223 degree chess and the latest “Q” drop while their rights are destroyed.
I don’t disagree. I once said that when a president first steps into the Oval office a group is waiting for him. They show him where every child has been the past year down to the minute.
Then they show him Photoshopped pictures of his kids not looking well at all.
Perot was shown a compromising picture of his daughter doing lesbian stuff. And you KNOW the government had very sophisticated and more realistic looking photoshopping software than we have even now. Back then being gay would ruun your life.
How many people would sacrifice their children to save a nation that half of the people hate you?
