I hope you're wrong. Trump predicted everyone would lose their minds over the midterms if his people didn't win but they didn't. It's a very real threat, for sure, but they lost their minds neither over that nor the Mar-A-Lago raid. Maybe they'd like to go to jail too, along with all their fellow traitor comrades already there?

I think you have it backwards. Loyalty to the GOP or to conservatism takes a distant second to loyalty to the God King himself. He wasn’t running. Trump isn’t a conservative, and he isn’t a Republican. Neither are his followers. It’s a cult.
And when the cult leader is marched away in handcuffs bellowing about persecution and witch hunts it’s going to be like sewer rats in a flood.
Maybe, although he doesn't seem to have as much support as he had before. The mid-terms appear to be a refutation of Trumpism. Yeah, Americans need to be vigilant if he's perp-walked into a prison. Yeah, there will probably be some terrorist attacks by his followers. Not sure it will be mass hysteria, but I could be wrong. Then again, will Garland have the balls to indict him. I note Republican Congresscritters aren't jumping to protect Trump with the expected indictment, and they have to answer to the voters. So maybe they know something we don't.
That it's safer. I really hope so. If America *doesn't* explode with anger over this, it'll be the strongest indication yet that Trump's Reign of Error is over.
He has lost support of what we've come to call the "establishment" Republicans, who are only 8 on the Crazy Meter and not 11.
The good part: the GOP cannot win with Trump, his unfavorability is not only high, it is intense. But if he is not the nominee he will take psychotic revenge, telling his supporters not to vote for Republicans who betrayed him.
In short: they can't win with him, and they can't win without him. It's algebra.
But his supporters are hate-crazed, enraged, and irrational. They *will* make a ton of trouble. I don't know the scale but it will be horrible. They have discovered electric grids now and may graduate to bombs.
Garland: the pressure on him to act will be intense. Discouraging is that he has moved so slowly; encouraging is that he authorized the search of Trump's Florida tea-room. That took some balls. He will have to travel in tanks for a while but, well. I don't want to jinx it with a prediction. I want to pick up my phone and see TRUMP ARRESTED on a notification, or maybe something a little more ummm determinative.
I'm getting quite, quite sick of waiting for the other g.d. shoe to drop. Enough pussyfooting around, buddy-boy, INDICT HIM!!!
The inability to deal with terrorists and coup plotters in a timely manner, like within 24-48 hours like Germany and Peru did, tells something about how lacking in balls the US has become. Since mass murder on a daily basis doesn't move Americans' hearts to wonder whether people really need all the damn assault weapons they've got, maybe terrorist attacks that inconvenience *them* will make a difference.
Or perhaps when Trump's brownshirts do worse than not vote for any Republican Trump decides he doesn't like, maybe they'll rethink their position on whether idiots with guns is a sane policy for a so-called 'civillized' country.
Good article. It disturbs me greatly that the Jan 6th insurrection had support within law enforcement, the military and the Secret Service. I always wondered if those guys were willing to take a bullet for a loser like *Trump*. and I realized, yes.
As someone who worked with classified data for years, I see taking classified data as a serious thing that he could, and should, rightfully be prosecuted for. Why the hell would anyone want to keep that kind of thing?

A reason to be concerned about the inability of the DOJ to act decisively:

Worse, the insurrectionists have a lot of support in law enforcement.

To sell it, of course. What other reason could there be? Nostalgia?
Well he sure ain't gonna read it himself. Too many big words, and no mention of himself.
