Trump’s Niece Mary: “We Really Dodged a Bullet”

It is true that Trump has failed in his coup attempt to overturn the election results.  But why would anyone think this is the end?

Trump owns the Republican party.  Unless he is disgraced, e.g., indicted and convicted on one or more felonies, he will continue to dominate GOP politics.

Moreover, the entire Republican party, with or without Trump, has shown that it’s quite willing to condone crime.

People say that Trump will not be around forever, which is true.  But if he’s not held accountable, the next would-be dictator may be even worse.

And yes, that’s possible.  Keep in mind that Trump is inept.  The next guy is likely to be far sharper, and he’ll feel empowered knowing that the United States does not prosecute ex-presidents, regardless of the evidence against them.
