People saying he’ll admit it in this spate are wrong because he’ll end up in prison. This is the only way he’d maybe admit it.
Law is unclear what happens to Trump and GOP certainly won’t impeach. But everyone knows, you pardon an asshat, and take on the title of pardoning daresay the worst criminal in history.
To quote Kenan Thompson, “ain’t nothing gonna happen.” It doesn’t make the slightest difference what any of these monsters admit, or how solid the evidence. None of their crimes are news. They’ve been blatant all along, and we all know it. There is no Big Fix for us. We have already fallen for Lucy’s football too many times. Look at history. When it’s fascism time, the fascists will fascist, and the rest of us will just have to get down there in the trenches and fight. Together.
It’s obvious to us but aside from the Trump-can-do-no-wrong crowd, there’s a lot of oblivious people who just…don’t know.
It’s a situation I have a hard time grappling with as someone who reads the news but I’m regularly introducing people (in-person) to political events. They know about the most recent plane crash or whatever but not that Israel killed another journalist or that Trump sent a legal resident to a concentration camp. It’s wild…but following politics is kind of a hobby. There’s so much going on all the time, you can’t just passively absorb it.
In some ways I resent them but in other ways I’m jealous. Following it like I do has brought me a tiny bit of joy and a whole lot of stress.
