Red, do yourself a favor and dont hang your hopes on Trump being charged when he leaves office. You've already suffered enough disappointment. Dont waste another 5 years of your life on this. It isnt worth it.
I'm quite realistic about things, actually. Not for one second have I pinned any hope whatsoever in Trump being charged, should he lose in 2020. We should always put what's best for the country first, and I'm pretty sure doing that would not really help. I realize many would like nothing more, but we are going to have enough actual healing to get through.
So, in the immediate aftermath of a possible Trump loss in 2020, with his base having been ensnared by the Deep State Fantasy Narrative, I believe finding ways to defuse the civil war-like climate in this country should take first priority, and I don't think putting Trump on trial could possibly serve that purpose. Not that he would not deserve it, but I can't make that the standard.
The country has to come first. Trumpism is not ending when he leaves office. I do believe he and his media lackeys, state media, such as Fox, have helped create a climate of hate that we are going to have to find some way to defuse. Or we may continue to define our national character as the dark id Trump represents. History never guarantees "good" endings. We will be dealing with our most pressing problems long after Trump has left the stage.
Somebody's grandchildren are going to be asking their grandparents, some day, why did you not see what Trump represented? But that soul searching will be well down the line, I believe.
