If I was engaging in wishful thinking I would wish that the judge just lets Trump off with a fine and we all roll down to election day and Trump wins in a landslide like the polls indicate. But that’s not how this is going to go.
We are likely heading to a constitutional crisis of historic proportions by end of summer. We have actually been in one since November 3, 2020. Its just now coming to a head. It looks like Trump is actually going to allow himself to be put in prison. I personally did not think he would ever agree to it but there you have it. Once that genie comes out of the bottle its going to be tough to put it back in.
Most Americans are going to be shocked by coming events because they simply cannot envision anything really crazy happening in our country. Believe me its going to get really crazy. I’m not sure how anybody still sees us getting to an election in November. And if we should get to an election how does anyone see Trump winning? The Dominion machines in 28-32 states have not had their algorithms changed since 2017.
As for the election, who is going to delay it? who is going to enforce paper ballots? who is going to enforce either of those two measures and all the other things we would like to see happen? The administration? They and DOJ are the only ones that have legal enforcement powers. Short of that, an overthrow and some form of coup must take place. Short of that, I doubt we ever have a free and fair election or that Trump can ever win leaving the outcome to the current system. The left are becoming ever more bold and uncaring of opinion against them. They are counting on us being too afraid of destroying the nation to attempt to destroy them.
To hold up their image of just following the law they are going to try and convict Hunter Biden. Just a show trial and Hunter knows that. He will be pardoned and life will go on. All for the good of the cause.
They aren't through with Trump either. They are like a cat playing with a mouse or a bird. They don't want to kill it until they have had their pleasure. They know they can't poke the skunk that is the right leaning public too much and so they poke him, let outrage settle and then poke him again. They don't want to actually incite a decisive response although they would love to send out troops to put down the insurrection and kill as many as they can then cancel elections and finish their take over.
Next, in July, just before the convention they humiliate Trump further and jail him and do it very publicly. Who thinks they are going to allow him to run a campaign from inside Rikers? Not me. He will disappear into the deepest darkest hole they can find just like the January 6 political prisoners. They can do that, legally. Every time the call him a convicted felon it shakes his support and they will do that constantly. The surge in donations is outrage but the more swing voters hear convicted felon the more they have reservations. Even if FJB gloats they will have reservations, they don't think deeply enough to register what is actually happening.
Really though, all this is speculation because neither of us has a crystal ball better than the other one. We agree on one thing though, this is all very bad and likely to get much worse. America is in very serious trouble and you are right, I think most people don't know just how bad it is.
