The entire point of Trump is his toxicity. The whole “getting away with it” is the core of his appeal. It’s what makes a pathetic cult of his supporters. Trump hasn’t gotten away with anything because of his smarts, because he’s so cunning, or he’s so powerful. The whole reason he’s gotten away with political “missteps” like those and many others is that a swath of voters are happy to see that he does.
See, he has demonstrated for all to see that he was never going to be, and never was, president for the entire United States. He was going to be president just for his base.
Why? Besides the obvious (we don’t want to support grifting racist, sexist “businessmen” who are con men), the coalition that supports the Democrats is not as powerful as the one supporting the GOP. For the average voters, that means the in-groups that make up the GOP base vs. the out-groups that make up the Democratic one.
But that’s only half of the story.
Trump has also “gotten away with it” because he has and will act in service of some of the most powerful interests in the nation and the world. When they see Trump, they don’t see an indicted con man running for president: they see their tax cuts. They see their deregulation. And both the powerful and the ordinary see the extremist judges that he will appoint, as opposed to Biden.
That’s all they need to see. Trump is not just getting the “support” of his brigade of suckers. We all know that from the SCOTUS on down, he’s getting some big time help in delaying his trials.
The next phase of this war? After Biden is reelected, and the Dems win back the House. We go after these oligarchs and judges big time. And after the swearing in Jan. 2025, there is nothing standing in the way to slw them down. Do you think shareholders will choose politics over their portfolios?
