      1. Mark my words: the Trumpian counter-narrative is already shaping up. If things go really bad, Trump will (as he's done all along) find other people to blame: China, Democratic governors. It fits in with his existing narrative of xenophobia and anti-cosmopolitanism. https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/1243668002949730310 …

      2. Let's assume a political best case scenario: Trump defeated in fall election. Even then, he and his followers (who will remain plurality of GOP) will blame everything on China/Dem Governors/Deep State etc.

      3. If Trump is defeated, he'll still retain his hold on a large chunk one of America's political parties. He'll continue to tweet conspiracy theories. He might run again (as a way of ensuring that he can accuse any criminal prosecution can be portrayed as political persecution)

          4. And Trump won't be alone. Under a Democratic president, plenty of rightwing outlets will continue to defend him -- just as many right wing historians continue to defend Herbert Hoover, Joseph McCarthy, and Richard Nixon. There will be no consensus on his awfulness.

          You don't think if he loses the election he and the GOP will find some excuse to fight it tooth and nail all the way to the Supreme Court—who may overturn the results, who knows?

          as long as he's out of office, that's a step in the right direction.

          I'd say that depends on how badly the Republican party as a whole loses. If they take a serious beating, and Democrats gain a majority in both the senate and the house, he might get dumped for self preservation reasons.

          Sounds like we should encourage red states to open up for Easter and then colonize next year. I'm tired of pretending the scum that keeps him in office are good people worthy of saving.

          Best middle case scenario. Exececutive remains, senate flips, hearings ensue. Benghazi except all about the grift.

          This is why the Biden (and Butti) rhetoric of "unity" & "healing" is nothing more than empty campaigning to appeal to naive voters' hope of better times---without providing any policy substance of HOW he'd do so.
