If my father-in-law is any indication, no one in Trump-world cares about any of this. We were discussing this last night. Trump fans don’t care who Trump has sex with. Don’t care who he pays off. Don’t care that he lies about it. Don’t care, don’t care, don’t care. All they care about is this country and they like what Trump has done for the country.
Why should we care about all that?
The seeds for revolution have been planted. But, it’s not Trump Resisters that will revolt. It’s Trump fans. They will see an impeachment as an attack on the duly elected President. Hannity said last night (or was it Sebastian Gorka?), “We won’t be the USA anymore – we’ll be Venezuela or something.” Trumpists are primed to go to war over this.
Mark Levin was also on Hannity last night. He claims that we are headed for a constitutional crisis and that it is solely the Democrats’ fault. The Mueller investigation is run entirely by Democrats and they are hell-bent on bringing down Trump. The fact that this is 100% bullshit is irrelevant. Trumpists believe it. If Trump gets run out of DC, Democrats local and national will be against the wall in front of firing squads.
It is difficult for me to see a way forward from here. If we live in a post-fact world, what do we have? If Trumpists don’t care about any of Trump misdeeds, both great and small, what can we do? They’re nearly half the country. And they’ve got guns.
