    To be clear, the Republicans being organized means the Republicans will be able to do more lasting damage. Trump is just the face, and while he is a terrible person who causes damage through chaos, the malicious Republicans as a whole are responsible for whatever damage happens during his turn.

    That is important to keep in mind, because even if they cart him off to jail on day 2 of his term they will continue to do all the damage they can.

      It’s also worth remembering the republicans having a different face next time doesn’t mean they’ll be different next time.

      People act like things are only bad because of Trump and that if it was someone else it would be less bad. There’s no actual reason to assume that.
