Trump just lost in a SEVEN MILLION VOTE blowout, even though he was president at the time and he abused the office to try to rig the election as thoroughly as possible. And yet you chicken littles think he's somehow magically going to be in contention in 2024. Get a fucking grip.
If Trump had been running as a non-incumbent in 2020 and wasn't able to sabotage the post office etc, he'd have lost by ten or twelve million votes. He's one of the most unpopular political figures in American history. The fanaticism of his fairly small base doesn't change that.
Trump wouldn't be viable in 2024 even if he weren't about to be eaten alive by criminal charges, bankruptcy, asset forfeitures, poor health, and so on. Also, he's gone from Twitter forever, which was the only trick up his sleeve to begin with.
More to the point: your obsession with the doomsday fantasy of Trump being a 2024 contender is going to cause you to overlook whichever hideous republican ends up being the 2024 contender. Doomsday hysteria keeps you from seeing the real threats around you.

The fatalists are now insisting Trump will never go to prison. These are the same fatalists who insisted that:

- Trump would cancel the election

- Trump would win the election

- Trump would overturn the election.

These fatalists are wrong 100% of the time.
There's a reason the fatalists are wrong every single time: they're so obsessed with their hyperbolic doomsday scenarios, they can't even focus on actual things that could realistically go wrong. The fatalists never predict the bad stuff that actually ends up happening.
It's not just that the fatalists, who insist we're going to lose no matter what, demotivate those of us who are fighting and winning.

It's that the fatalists and their doomsday scenarios serve to distract everyone else from the things we really should focus on, good or bad.

When the Democrats were deciding whether to impeach Trump, I guarantee you they spent time discussing how the fatalists on our side would start pushing the "all hope is lost" nonsense if he was acquitted. The fatalists do extreme harm – and everyone else has to work around them.
A lot of families have to carefully construct every social gathering to work around that one messed up relative who always causes a problem.

The fatalists who spend their time yelling "all hope is lost" are the Resistance's messed up relative who always has to be worked around.
The media created the fatalists by getting them addicted to the adrenaline rush of believing that they're absolutely going to lose, and making them subconsciously WANT to lose, just so they can keep feeling that rush. But the fatalists are our problem. We have to overcome them.

It’s already been clearly parsed out that the SDNY isn’t bringing the criminal case against Trump, the Manhattan District Attorney is.

This will become important later when the media tries to scare you for ratings by announcing out of context that the SDNY isn’t pursuing Trump.
Also, SDNY is part of the DOJ and brings federal charges. The SDNY has nothing to do with New York State, beyond having its office there.

If Trump faces federal charges for the insurrection, it’ll come from main DOJ, not SDNY. The insurrection didn’t happen in New York.
The criminal cases against Trump:

1) Manhattan DA, financial charges (confirmed)

2) Fulton County DA, election fraud (confirmed)

3) Washington DC Attorney General, insurrection (in discussion)

4) DOJ, various potential federal charges (no one knows if this one will happen)

1) The media has once again used magic wand theory to bait you into believing something different than reality. It painted an impeachment trial conviction as a magic wand. It ignored all other remedies. It convinced you that all hope is lost because that magic wand wasn't waved.
2) Most (not all) of the media has carefully avoided acknowledging the fact that two states plus DC have criminal cases going against Trump, which will have legitimate juries, and can put him in prison. This is far more effective and important than banning him from running again.
3) Most (not all) of the media has also ignored that Trump is now a broken and listless figure who's afraid to even show his face, let alone magically run again in four years. They've also ignored that Trump's approval rating is historically low, and no one ever wins that way.

Everyone calm down. While we don’t know why witnesses weren’t called, we know that the Democrats didn’t “cave.” They’re not hapless idiots. They’re savvy fighters, and they must have had a damn good reason for this. Stop blindly attacking them and let this play out.
For insurance, the DC Attorney General let it be known last night that he’s looking to criminally charge Trump for the insurrection. That’s infinitely more important than impeachment. Perhaps he asked the Democrats not to screw up his prosecution by calling his witnesses.
It’s also possible that one or more of the witnesses changed their story, and therefore it would have backfired.

There are all kinds of plausible explanations for what just happened. “Democrats stupidly caved” is NOT one of them, because these Democrats are NOT stupid or cavers.

Nikki Haley is the biggest punchline in the country. Her every tweet gets ratioed. She’s a joke. She’s not within a million miles of being a 2024 contender. Yet the media is so desperate to milk her for ratings, it’s trying to turn her into one. The media is not your friend.
Now that Haley’s failed political career is 100% over, she’s making the desperation move of turning against Trump. This deserves no attention, beyond a chuckle. Yet the media will line up to praise her for having the courage to do it. Because the media only cares about ratings.
In situations like this, YOU have to hold the media accountable by letting it know that you won’t tolerate its attempt at laundering Haley into legitimacy. At times like this the media really is your adversary, and you must fight back. Or else you get stuck with trash like Haley.
