MAGA Republican extremists want to participate in the next election; uncle Joe is here to save us.
The truth is, the ideals someone symbolizes to others is more important than their accomplishments, or lack thereof.
Martyring them only increases that reality.
A certain failed, destitute, mediocre painter from the early part of last century went on to thrust the entire world into a war (that arguably never really ended) after writing a book in prison.
Now, it has been a year since the Dark Brandon speech.
Over the past year, the most notable thing that has happened is that Donald Trump has made a stunning political comeback since the midterms.
Trump’s resurrection in both the Republican primary and general election polls has been entirely driven by the perception that the judicial system has been weaponized against him.
We have all watched as the “Get Trump” BS has multiplied.
Pretty much everyone in Trump’s orbit has been punished in some way by the judicial system.
However, Trump is now leading Joe Biden in the RCP average.
Ironically, it is because Joe Biden and the Democrats are perceived as the greater threat to American democracy.
Trump has the mugshot to prove it.
The great threat to democracy has been arrested four times and faces nearly 1,000 years in prison.
Perhaps my skepticism has deteriorated into paranoia, but how can I be sure this isn’t more horse and pony?
