This is a nightmare scenario. I can't believe that Trump has been inflated to enough importance that people are willing to casually risk the republic over it, like it's no big deal, just Thursday. I think that the Democratic base has been radicalized with messages of terror so aggressively since 2016 with the fear that Russian-Hitler-Trump is going to start shoving them into camps, that the unimaginable alternative of potential societal collapse seems like a fair risk. > This is just red meat for Trump's base. I hope we can still continue to talk about this stuff in horserace terms, but if Trump serves an hour in jail, or even sits in cuffs for a minute, I don't think we're going to be having any elections for a while.
