I keep in mind that the criminal always knows exactly what he did. So the more desperate he is to hide it, the greater the crime he is hiding. Trump is calling for violence in the streets if he is indicted. His cult followers are threatening the FBI and Democrat Congresspeople.
He knows what he did. It is not just having documents that he shouldn’t have. I believe he knows it is about a life in prison. And he will kill people to stay out of prison. And he will destroy American democracy to stay out of prison. Why his cult believes him, and even worse why they obey him, is very hard for me to understand. He represents something about their own pain and paranoia that they are willing to be violent for.
I really don’t think that we are in for a civil war, but I do think there are some ready to attack at their cult leader’s “suggestion “. They already did so on January 6, 2021. That was just practice
But America cannot afford to turn away from the rule of law because of threats from autocratic cult leaders and their subservient followers. To do so says that autocratic violence can and will overturn the rule of law, and we become a nation of rule by man, violent man. History has too many stories showing the horror of that.
