Will Trump End in a Bang or a Whimper?
The author of the meme at left suggests that Trump is simply going to fade away as people come to realize that they’ve been conned, the legal noose tightens slowly around the former president’s neck, and congresspeople, one by one, figure out that Trump now represents a liability to them and try to pretend they never heard of him. The graphic below illustrates this concept.
But a whimper? Sorry, but no. He never gives in, and he doesn’t have a problem escalating matters to the next level, regardless of how outrageous that level may be.
The fact that none of the 44 presidents before him had attempted to overthrow the U.S. government didn’t even slow him down from a full-bore coup attempt.
Now he got caught. What will happen when his delay tactics eventually fail and he goes on trial for seditious conspiracy? Does anyone think for a minute that he’s not going to tap into the anger of his base of tens of millions of armed supporters?
The first insurrection involved a few thousand people. This one could feature millions, each one believing that each of the 65 judges who rejected the Big Lie is corrupt, along with the entirety of the Department of Justice, as well as the news media, both here are around the globe. They will be told, once again, that they need to “fight like hell or they won’t have a country.”
Bang.
