The real..."Donald Trump" will finally emerge..

Not just ...from one book..The Peril, by Woodward and Acosta...but from many to come

Total Selfishness, and Not Caring at all about the U.S.A....More stories to come in my opinion..Now that the idiot is
gone..and one story is out...there will be more...much more...(in my opinion)...

Also, as he get piled on, and has no ...power to hit back I think...more will pile on...

family members will convince other family members of ..."the truth"...and..it will take time

The great majority of people 75% to 80% will finally realize what a total selfish fool Trump really is..
Maybe more.....A small percent will always admire this fool...but that will get smaller and smaller...

Trump's incompetence and selfishness...killed a lot of people that could have lived

I really do, but MAGA is the GOP now and Democracy means nothing to them.

Most America doesnt read anyway, at least not stuff like this.

GOP will no longer certify elections they lose, and that is the end of America.

6. I believe that "Word of Mouth" is the most powerful advertising in all of history..

People will convince people and the talk will abound...The negative talk about Trump will emerge in
a way that we haven't seen...but the number of .." true fans" will lesson in my opinion...

Trump caused the death of thousands of people...by his incompetence ...The GOP will change, and
those that admit Trump's total incompetence will emerge as leaders...That will also take lots of"time"

Maybe the 2022 election will help destroy Trump...We will see over time...how, and when it will happen..
But, I believe it will happen...

14. Love the optimism, the exact opposite is happening though. McCarthy is full on board

with full trump fascism, and he is likely the next Speaker of the House, at which time he will do ANYTHING trump tells him to do.

Add to that every election the GOP loses where they control counting the votes and certifying, they will end Democracy in those states and we cant survive that way.

We have been saying things would get better for 5 yrs, and even WINNING the election didn't work, when you consider what the GOP is doing in response to their loss.

I hate being so negative, but being this way I have correctly predicted everything they have done for 20 years, I just ask myself what is the WORST thing they could do, and I predict that. The difference is the last 5 yrs there are no limits to what they will do and there were before.

I am not smart or magical, I just take them at their word. They HATE Women and Black people and Gay people , for instance.

..it won't matter. People who storm the Capital, go to Trump rallies, threaten anti-Trump citizens, don't read books...and it's really not about Trump or all the elected Trump lickspittles anymore, if you've noticed. Trump could drop dead tomorrow and the Trump "movement" wouldn't miss a step.

As has been said, Trump didn't create the hysterical faction...he just let 'em out of the cage.

I've been laughed at when I said that he would murder his political opponents if he got the chance. I still stand by that statement. The man is dangerous and insane. Bill Maher's rant last week hit the nail on the head.

Additional anecdotes in new books are just cumulative rather than revelatory, but the accumulated evidence of how awful he is won't make a bit of difference to the cult. They like it that he's awful.

7. But the ..."cult" in my opinion will get smaller & smaller as we move along...

...being convinced gradually by....."the truth"...Maybe down to 15% ...One in seven not 40 per cent..

8. I doubt it - The thing about cults is that they aren't persuaded by facts.

It's just the opposite. The more facts you show them, the more they cling to their false beliefs.

that 'our' problem is NOT IQ45, but his followers that have filled seats in legislative organizations throughout the country. Seriously, just run the names and places:
TEXAS: Cruz, Abbott, Gohmert, Paxton
CALIFORNIA: Nunes
COLORADO: Boebert
IOWA: Grassley
PENNSYLVANIA: Toomey
FLORIDA: DeSantis
OHIO: Gym Jordon

Yes, I've left out TONS of names and states - and that's part of the problem. SO many are working out of the 'sight and focus' of the public, but yet they are working to their one common goal: "NEVER LET A DEMOCRAT HAVE A WIN!"

Was it Moscow Mitch and the "We must make PRESIDENT OBAMA a 1-term president?"
Was it Newt and the "Contract with America?"
Was it Reagan and his 'nodding head' - 'aw, shucks' bullshit?

WHATEVER it was - we MUST put together a unified fight to END THE SCAM!!!!!!

They've lied!
They have NO honor!
They ONLY care about a SMALL PART OF OUR POPULATION!!!!!

Joe's got it right - we need ALL DEMOCRATS to stand up and support him - and US!

13. Let's not forget the court cases

That will require a discovery process. TFG is a terrible witness, but he’ll have to testify in the myriad of cases headed to court. No doubt that stuff will find the light of day.

...Trump will lie and lie..But that is against the law, and that would be the total end of Trump. Lying in court is easily
provable. And that is all Donald Trump does. Testifying in court is Trump's worst nightmare..And if possible, he will
not testify.
