It’s not just that he’s somehow still in politics despite all the unbelievable bullshit that he and his traveling circus of personality disorders have put us through. It’s that he honestly has a good chance of becoming President AGAIN, even if it’s while he’s awaiting sentencing for a felony conviction. Felonies related to purposely compromising our most classified documents and/or for trying to commit a coup. He’s going to be on trial for things which actually are even more harmful to our democracy in the macro sense than his own shooting someone on 5th Avenue example, and it doesn’t fucking matter one bit. And, btw, if he wins he won’t respect term limits. Peaceful transfers of power will be over unless he dies early enough in his term that we never have to cross that Rubicon where he declares he doesn’t have to leave office. There are going to be some very hard choices to be made if he doesn’t die. His supporters will still be a collection of (a) outright deplorables and (b) completely delusional fearful people who might not be actively deplorable but whose brains are nonetheless broken from fear and consuming propaganda all the time. Neither of those underlying conditions go away or get better if he dies. But at least if he dies they won’t have their most audaciously amoral and narcissistic cult leader there to unite them and galvanize them. If he doesn’t die, there really won’t be a bottom. Very hard choices like leaving my family in Texas and getting the fuck away from all this fuckery? The 108 degree makes that less "hard".
