No, independents don't and won't see any red flags. Trump was already President once, and while there were plenty of things that happened during his Presidency (both good and bad), the country survived and continued to thrive. For most people (who don't pay too much attention to politics), that's a huge counterpoint to Democratic assertions that Trump is an existential threat.


This. 100%.

In my dark moments, I wish January 6, 2021 would have been a lot bloodier and more decisive. I wish they had actually hanged Mike Pence, or held hostage all the "brave" Republicans like Josh Hawley. Or alternatively, security had shot dead 400 of the rampaging mob instead of that one idiot, Ashley Babbit. Like 9/11. Nobody who criticized Trump who absolutely clearly caused it, would be able to flip later, like Lindsey Graham.

Instead I see Democrats overprosecuting payment to a porn star (actually, cheating on his campaign paperwork) as 34 felonies instead of one misdemeanor and I agree Trump got railroaded in that lawsuit.

What existential threat? Fani Willis is so concerned about saving democracy, she could hardly contain it. She had to share it with her lover/ consultant and jeopardize the case. Amateurs.
