Conspiracy theorists in the GOP have always been a problem, but they are now a consequential problem and the indispensable voting bloc in the GOP primarily because unprincipled GOP politicians decided to exploit, embrace and finally exalt the unhinged masses.

This level of misconduct should shock every American conscience. Indeed, given what we know now, not charging Trump under these facts would be an immense scandal, an abject failure of the rule of law.

In fact, Trump was so manifestly unfit for office that Bill Barr just had no other choice but to undermine confidence in American institutions with bullshit investigations. The reality is that he'd accept another term of Trump if the alternative was Joe Biden- or any Democrat.

This is more than just saying “Trump is dramatic” or “Trump will lose.” It has to be: “Trumpism will kill the GOP because Republicans like me will leave and vote against the party if you pick him. We will not play this game with you.” And then, when they pick him, leave & fight.

The minute a critical mass of Rs decide to do that (there arguably already is an 8-10% that already bolted in 2020) is the minute that this new bloc secures huge leverage in our politics and can actually keep growing. Why? Because it will finally be fighting for something.

The only way the non-MAGA lane of the GOP (to the extent it exists) will ever regain power to implement its non-Trumpism agenda is to prove that it will bolt and deny Trumpism victory—that Trumpism is not a politically viable package in the US. Close ranks, use leverage, win.

Jeb says: “In this case, let the jury be the voters.” But that’s not how our justice system works, and it could be said of any case where a candidate is charged. Elections decide who we want to serve—not guilt in a crime. Plus, the voters already weighed in on Trump—he lost.

Bragg’s predecessor didn’t take up the case. The Justice Department didn’t take up the case. Bragg first said he would not take up the case. This is very political, not a matter of justice. In this case, let the jury be the voters.
