Sunday Thoughts June 11, 2023

Something that has not be mentioned with regards to the Trump indictment is how the timeline for this and the other legal issues will run. Our court system moves at a glacial pace. Douglas Mackey was charged in January of 2021 and did not see a trial until March of 2023. His case was straightforward and simple compared to the case against Trump. There will be many appeals court hearings before we ever get to an actual trial if it ever happens.

As a practical matter, it means this case will be hanging over the primary and general election next year, which may be the whole point of the exercise. One of the weirdest aspects of the current crisis is how our bourgeois dictators live within narratives of their own creation. It is entirely possible that they have spun a tale for themselves that says the indictment of Trump craters his support and this leads to him dropping out of the race in order to save face.

To a normal person this sounds crazy, but time and again we see these people create fantasy versions of reality and then carry on as if it is all true. After all, if you can pretend that these moronic pride celebrations are sensible, you can convince yourself of anything. The people who think indicting Trump is a great “own” also thought the Russian collusion hoax stuff was real. They also thought it was a good idea to wear your underwear around your head to keep the cooties away.

It will be interesting to see the polling over the next few weeks. Trump has come out swinging, which is a very good look for him. He showed up at the Waffle House in Georgia and mingled with the people and paid for everyone’s meal. He then gave a fiery speech at a North Carolina GOP event. Americans love an underdog, especially one that shows grit. My hunch is we see Trump’s numbers jump. We may also see DeSantis take a hit, despite his support for Trump in this matter.
