Each day in court brings that reality closer. Trump can’t run. Trump can’t hide. Trump can’t do all the things that have enabled him to thrive as a despotic grifter his entire life. His mind is slipping, his grip on the world is weakening and at the end of the day Donald Trump recognizes it. You can see it in his eyes. His last cogent thought may well be the recognition that he’s the world’s largest loser and everything he’s done his entire life has led to utter failure.

Emphases mine in case anyone needs a little not-quite end of week pick me up.

I don't care if he ever thinks that thought. At the end of of his days he will have left us with a horde of lunatics empowered by his ideals. We are stuck with Trumpism.

But without the charismatic messianic leader, it'll fracture. Look how the repubs in the house are already turning on each other.

Trumpism won't go away, but it'll be increasingly rudderless

Yeah, but the cons have been doing everything possible to manifest someone just like donnie. If it wasn't him, it was clear it'd be someone like him. Just look at Palin....

I wouldn't call it "Trumpism"; it's been the core of the cons and the Republican Party for years and years.

I took tomorrow off to recover my mental health, so your emphasis is very much a boost I needed

I hope you get to do whatever helps you recover and re-energize, but for me it's unplugging from everything and getting lost in the natural world. Hang in there, buddy.

Trump can't run

Hasn't been able to do that for a LONG time.
