Does it ever seem to you (as it does to me) that we are speeding toward a national reckoning over Trump, Justice, and the type of country we will have from now on?
I"ve tried to frame the moment as it appears to me. Please comment as you wish.

Thanks. Good point. Right wing power brokers are certainly deserving of blame for ou. problems. But I"m not sure Trump wouldn't have happened even without big donors.
@peterquirk
He seems driven by racism, white supremacy, and fear of losing status.
@sloudermilk
I think this is pretty accurate except I don't know about 2025 as an ending. It's hard to see with the many possibilities.
Trump conviction and..nothing.
Trump conviction and rioting in the streets.
Trump acquittal and.. nothing.
Trump acquittal and rioting in the streets.
Trump wins the election.
Trump loses the election.
My majic 8 ball keeps saying try again later.
@sloudermilk Good writing, but it doesn't recognize the role of extremely wealthy right-wing power brokers, leveraging Citizens United, who provided the funding and messaging for the past few decades. Trump is a convenient tool for these people.
