    Observation...

    No person in my lifetime has dominated the news cycle like Trump.

    Nobody.

      True. Is that a good thing?

      Presidents normally make headlines daily, add in a President that is unfiltered and unconventional? Dominates news. Add in a refusal to accept the fairness of election results? Super dominant.

        You wonder how long the Trump news cycle will go on. I would bet a long time.

          Hmm, I bet it fades away but converts in either coverage about a media network he tries to launch or (maybe) some delayed criminal charges.

            Nope, he'll continue to dominate.

            1. He has a dominant personality.
            2. The media loves/hates him, but most if all, has to have him. It's all about the Benjamins.
            3. Biden and the Dems desperately need a bogeyman.

              He will kind of fade away, talking to a smaller and smaller group of people who adore him.

              Immediate after election: huge crowds in stadiums, lots of adoring.

              2 years from now: moves to smaller “venues”, those who attend still love him

              ............

                    Possibly in a prison.

                    He will be 89 years old by then, may still be in prison or have received early parole on health/humanitarian ground due to old age.

                      15 years from now he'll be on a reality TV show entitled 'At Home with the Trumps'.

                      "In tonight's episode, Grandpa tries to get his leg over!...cut to a shot of DJT saying "....I used to be....ahhhh....President you know...."

                      What's worse, people will watch it.

                      I was only joking

                          I'd be classified as a "hater", but for me he's a lens into what we care about. Personally, I have many friends like him (sans the rich part).

                            No, you wouldn't have cared if he won in 2020, at least according to what you said at the time. So I don't think you qualify as a hater. The haters would prefer literally any other person or thing as POTUS.

                              Political analysis falls into the same traps as sports analysis. The victor had a deep plan, saw around the corners and prepared correctly. The loser was hopelessly outmatched because they never anticipated X, Y or Z.

                              In reality - this election came down a very small margin. I was hopeful the razor thin win by the dems and split congress would cause some introspection about how 4 years of Trump didn't dampen his support.

                              But now all this election fraud stuff has scuppered any real chance of that.

                              The lesson from Trump for me has been that this country cares deeply about its identity (moreso than policy). Much of the country believes that everything that made us as a great country is being thrown by the wayside in the name of progress.

                              You can't ignore that sentiment - and I fear the lesson has not yet been learned.

                                Don't forget he'll probably start challenging Harris' birth certificate, too.

                                  Observation...

                                  No person in my lifetime has dominated the news cycle like Trump.

                                  Nobody.

                                  The most impressive thing to me was the degree to which he dominated the minds of his haters.

                                  I'd be classified as a "hater", but for me he's a lens into what we care about. Personally, I have many friends like.

                                  No, you wouldn't have cared if he won in 2020, at least according to what you said at the time. So I don't think you qualify as a hater. The haters would prefer literally any other person or thing as POTUS.

                                  Political analysis falls into the same traps as sports analysis. The victor had a deep plan, saw around the corners and prepared correctly. The loser was hopelessly outmatched because they never anticipated X, Y or Z.

                                  In reality - this election came down a very small margin. I was hopeful the razor thin win by the dems and split congress would cause some introspection about how 4 years of Trump didn't dampen his support.

                                  But now all this election fraud stuff has scuppered any real chance of that.

                                  The lesson from Trump for me has been that this country cares deeply about its identity (moreso than policy). Much of the country believes that everything that made us as a great country is being thrown by the wayside in the name of progress.

                                  You can't ignore that sentiment - and I fear the lesson has not yet been learned.

                                    True, but my hope is that there are also better ones.

                                      Might well be wrong, but that's the general path most countries take...A revolution to a free society, then a creeping incrementalism to a socialist society, followed by a turn to strong, central figure of some kind.
