The problem seems to be that there are two very different takes on this, and unless you consciously seek the other out you just believe what “your people” write, and to an extent both messages are wrong (one massively more than the other maybe), but if there is demonstrably something you can point to (Hunter, “god save the queen”), then all the batshit stuff comes with it.
My previous post was hyperbole intentionally to kind of underline the point, the forces that funded and sang Trumps praises are still there, they may have underestimated his fruitloopery, but that is on the rise everywhere, and those backers will not hesitate to use it.
Imagine Trump enters the US jail system (as seems likely) and a Weinstein accident happening to him just before a future election, people were quite happy to turn a blind eye to someone turning off surveillance and killing the pedo, but as a precedent that’s worrying, and the same thing happening again would likely trigger massive upheaval where a more compliant demagogue stepping up to the plate would have carte blanche powers to regain control.
I know these scenarios sound a bit unhinged, but the patriot act? The fact that Trump was your president in the first place, that day they stormed the capitol, these are not things that happen in a stable society.
