Judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

If he had lost in 2016, Trump TV would have stolen Fox's audience and been the de facto voice of the Republican Party. No indictments. No scrutiny. Hillary would have been in charge during the pandemic and kept the public safe. The Supreme Court would still be a trusted institution (minus Citizens United) running in the political background.
We would have our nice, stable, boring politics back. Hillary would wear a tan pantsuit, and that would be the headline for the next two weeks.
Honestly I don't know about that. I think Trump was a direct product of Romney losing in 2012.
Sooner or later, the far right was going to take off their masks, and the Republicans were going to show that the extremists hold their leash. It was always going to come to a head like this I think.
This has been coming since the 90s. Without external pressure caused by the Soviet Union, infighting was inevitable, and infighting ultimately breeds extremism.
