What Will Happen When Trump Is Gone?

Interesting comment here from Walter Shaub, former director of the United States Office of Government Ethics.

I hope he’s right, but I see no reason that the divide between Trump’s supporters and his opponents will ever become a cut and dried matter.

Ask yourself what will happen when the former president is charged with seditious conspiracy, theft of classified government documents, election tampering, and whatever else.  Those backing him in congress will try to pretend they saw through him from the start, and his supporters in the electorate will simply shut up and move on to the next ultra-right-wing nut job.

Americans have terrible memories. That’s what makes us so susceptible to demagogues in the first place.
