Will's point about the new American political dynamic is very apt, it's the radical populist party vs the institutionalist party. It's been that way since at least 2015.

I also concur with Will that even if there's a guilty verdict that Trump's support base will shrug that off just like they did with J6th, the E Jean Carrol case, etc. My *hope* is that on the margins it'll make some movement and that'll be enough, but by and large I think nostalgia for the pre-2020 economy and Biden's age/energy issues will beat out any misgivings a lot of people will have about Trump.

And yes, Donald Trump's supporters in the senate would do things for him that Melania wouldn't, including sleeping in the same bedroom as he does lol

Agreed but it’s not populist. I don’t even know what they recommend that would be considered even remotely populist.
