Even if he's declared guilty, even if he's convicted, if Donald Trump is on the ballot, I'm voting for him

Donald Trump may indeed be guilty of the charges for which he was indicted last week…or maybe not. He may even end up being convicted. Regardless, assuming he’s on the ballot, I’ll vote for him, even if he’s dressed in stripes and sitting in a jail cell.

Why? Not because I don’t take seriously handling classified records or trying to “obstruct” the Justice Department. Both are serious. But even if Trump were guilty of both, even if he violated the letter and the spirit of the law, those violations are nothing compared to the federal government weaponization we’ve observed over the last decade and a half.

The Democrat party has spent much of the last fifteen years turning the federal government into an American Stasi to be used against its political opponents in a manner unprecedented in American history.

Barack Obama took aim at the Constitution in 2010 when his Justice Department targeted the press under the guise of “national security.” The DOJ seized records from FOX News reporter James Rosen and accused him of “espionage” for his reporting on American policy towards North Korea. Three years later, they used similar tactics against the Associated Press.

Not content to eviscerate freedom of the press, Obama next set his sights on freedom of speech, this time harnessing the IRS to undermine the Constitution.

Other presidents have been accused of using the IRS against opponents, but they were pikers compared to Obama’s war on speech. The IRS sought to smother hundreds of grassroots Tea Party organizations in their bassinets before they could even crawl. The likely result of that “mistreatment” of grassroots opponents was that Barack Obama won reelection despite having 5 million fewer votes than he did in 2008

The reality is there’s likely not a single voter in America who will be swayed one way or another based on the outcome of that case. If elections were about the candidate, in 2022, Pennsylvania Democrats wouldn’t have elected to represent them as Senator a guy who would have trouble completing a kindergarten art project over an erudite, if slightly odd, cardiothoracic surgeon.

Americans of every stripe understand what the choice is in 2024. Most certainly, there are voters who are turned off by some of Trump’s antics and statements, but the reality is anyone who says they would be willing to vote for Ron DeSantis but not Donald Trump is lying…either to themselves or to you. They’re simply looking for a fig leaf to cover their consciences so they can vote for a Democrat.

The Democrat Party and the rest of its swamp cabal have clearly demonstrated they are more than willing to ignore the Constitution and use the police power of government to coerce, control and, if necessary, crucify anyone not willing to go along with their cancerous progressive agenda. Donald Trump doesn’t want to let them do that.

Trump may be a highly flawed man, but as the nation watches its government transform into a repressive, progressive Borg, who better to lead the charge to destroy it than the man who has weathered its slings and arrows for the last eight years? More than perhaps anyone in America, Trump understands the threat because he’s experienced firsthand the danger it poses.

Even if Trump isn’t on the ballot, he’ll get a write-in.

Because there is no reason to reward or support the swampy GOPe rinos who support and have formed a uniparty with the left.

A convicted felon as president?

Let’s make it happen!!!

That’ll really drive democrats crazy. Hopefully crazy enough to jump off tall buildings or bridges. Or perhaps enraged enough to leave the country.

I’m not sure he is ruthless and disciplined enough.

I agree whole heartedly as the charges against him pale in comparison to what some other government officials in fairly high places are guilty of, not to mention any names, as most of us know those crooks by name, and all of them are still on the lose. Unfortunately we have a two tear judicial system with wo sets of justice, one for them and another for you and me and in the long run I have a feeling it may not bode well for this country as a whole.

Look for blue states to hastily pass laws prohibiting felons or indicted persons from being on the ballot if Trump looks like winning the nomination.

Easy call - if Trump’s political persecution caused me to change my opinion of him, then they won.

Either as the Republican nominee, a third party candidate or an independent write-in candidate, America will re-elect President Trump in 2024.

The courts were loath to consider election fraud charges for fear they would be accused of deciding an election. Will they be as reluctant when the democrats sue to keep off the ballots?
