...Trump’s current support basically comes from three groups: Those who know, love, and miss him; those who may not miss him but miss 2019’s peace and prosperity; and those who believe Democrats are corrupting our justice system to persecute a political opponent.

I think that the first and third groups are mostly made up of the same people

[Mik]

No, they are not. Take my word for it.

[Aqua Letifer]

They really aren't.

If by chance Trump would happen to win...Political parties do some interesting things after a loss.

Would the Dems take a hard look at the benefit of lawfare?

[Mik]

They certainly should. That said, I won’t hold my breath. There seems to be a relentless march toward scorched earth government.

I just think lawfare makes for extremely bad government. We have enough problems getting our best and brightest to run for public office.
