I'm really hoping that it all turns out that way and he does die in prison, a broken, pathetic man, but suppose those cases get delayed just enough, through blatant fuckery by Trump & his lawyers to put it past the election, and then suppose Trump still wins? I wish it wasn't so, but that he's still somehow neck & neck with Biden in the polls is astounding, in a sane world it wouldn't even be this close. What kind of chaos does the US Government get thrown into when a President-Elect is getting charged with multiple felonies and facing jail time? Or suppose Trump does go to jail and still runs for President (this has happened before) and actually wins? How does the system cope with that without just letting Trump out of prison? Or suppose something happens to Biden and the Democrats really don't have any viable replacement?
I went into the 2016 election thinking, "There's no chance in hell he gets elected," and yet, he still won. We can't really trust our fellow Americans to make the right choice anymore. That millions of people are still ready to vote for Trump despite all the available evidence really doesn't bode well for the country, even if Biden still wins in 2024.
