    The Jan 6 conspiracy indictment that just dropped.

    If Trump is allowed to get away with his attempted coup, it’s an existential crisis for our country.

      Existential crisis is putting it mildly. A win means total validation for him, his cronies, and all the people who supported/participated in his coup. He’ll ride the “I told you I was innocent! They stole the last one! They can’t steal this one!” train through his entire campaign. The morons who drank the kool-aid last time will be out for blood.

      I’m terrified to think of what comes next if he manages to worm his way back into power, but I really don’t want to spend my days in another country as a refugee…

      He needs to be made an example of and silenced for good. Him and everyone else involved. This can’t happen again.

        My biggest fear is that Trump and DeSantis both run and split the ticket, but get more votes combined than Biden. Biden wins, red states refuse to certify, some move to secede and drag the rest with them.

          I don’t see DeSantis having that kind of support. But your point about Republican legislatures refusing to honor a popular vote that doesn’t go their way is extremely valid.
