“But in case”–what does that mean? What is your native language? Do you live in the US?

MAGA won’t disappear until Trump is in the ground, but Trump requires a wider base of support than MAGA to stay politically viable.

I’ve observed from multiple posts that you’re a non-native speaker of English, so I thought I might inquire what country you’re from.
