Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the 2024 election.

WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election

I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?

“I am your retribution.”

When Donald Trump made this solemn promise to his supporters at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) two years ago, millions of Americans felt comfortable looking the other way.

After all, opinion polls suggested that Trump was a spent force in the wake of the January 6 insurrection, disappointing midterm elections and a lacklustre start to his US presidential election campaign. He was the closing act of a CPAC that critics dismissed as a fringe freak show with obscure speakers addressing a half-empty ballroom.


It won’t feel like that this time. CPAC 2025 kicks off at the National Harbor in Maryland on Wednesday with Trump set to return in triumph after regaining the White House and with Republican allies in control of Congress. The conference will be a vivid demonstration of how his “Make America great again” (Maga) movement has gone from the margins to the mainstream.

“CPAC always been the the ideological north star for the conservative grassroots movement,” said Tara Setmayer, a former Republican communications director on Capitol Hill who used to regularly attend the conference.

“Unless you weren’t paying attention, CPAC was the roadmap for what Maga becoming mainstream would look like and what they wanted to accomplish.”……

This will be their new talking point. Saw a GOP congressman brought it up a couple days ago. So the memo is out.

This is the playbook from from first term/first campaign

Identity a problem

Say only he can solve the problem

Says he knows the solution

Says the solution is an easy fix

And he says he’ll solve the problem day one or in one day

Narrator: He doesn’t

Problem either stays the same or gets worse

Blames Dems, Congress, alignment of the planets anything and everything other than admitting he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about

People who voted for him mostly to solve this specific problem

“Oh well, nobody’s perfect”

I'll add this here, there was also a lot of the usual crazy, and disturbing, stuff in the Musk and Trump Fox interview with Sean Hannity earlier in the week. Transcript on whitehouse.gov here.

In particular, Musk was saying this:

"... if the will of the president is not implemented, and the president is representative of the people, that means the will of the people is not being implemented, and that means we don’t live in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy. ."​

​

That's classic dictatorship (or mad king) stuff; by conflating the will of the people with the President, and solely the President, everything else is required to fall in line. Anything that doesn't align with the 'will of the president' - employees following the law, courts, congress, senate - becomes redefined as against the will of the people and so undemocratic; by this reasoning, for democracy to exist, everything has to serve as a compliant mechanism of the President, functioning solely in line with his will. Checks and balances go out the window, advice isn't needed, consent is mandatory.

There's also a bit where Trump and Musk berate the government for paying their bills, on the grounds that when people send in bills, they don't actually expect them to be paid in their entirety, they expect to be short-changed. Short-changing them is then described as 'competence and caring'.
