I don't mean to yuck on anybody's yum but I sort of feels like there is a lot of premature celebrating with regards to Trump's indictments and grand jury hearings. He hasn't been convicted yet, and he's still the Republican front-runner for the Presidential election. Hell, he's even beating Biden in some polls.
I'm not saying people shouldn't feel joy at his misfortune (I certainly do), but I sort of feel like people are setting themselves for a huge disappointment down the road.
@zalasur The November 2024 election will determine everything. Even if Trump's in jail by then, he can still be elected, inaugurated, and then pardon himself. At which point out experiment in democracy will be over.
@zalasur EXACTLY how I feel. He's got a chance to have some of these thrown out on technicalities or actually defeat some of them. Or the trial outcome being mundane when he is tried successfully, such as the NY indictment that seems less potential for affecting the election at all than the other two federal cases.
If his supporters cared to abandon him for breaking the law, it would have already happened. That rubicon has passed already and finding him guilty won't sway that much IMO. He will campaign out of a hotel room mid-trial and they'll still donate over it.
