1. The Cult of Trump is still very much alive and well 2. Your hypothetical scenario would be strengthened with the inclusion of an actual candidate who could beat Trump in an upcoming Republican primary 3. And no, the “shrug” emoji is not a valid substitute
I’m not trying to piss you off, but I am trying to illustrate how thoroughly the Republican mainstream is still very much in thrall of Trump. They don’t see things the same way we do.
Anyone who still supports Trump in 2021 believes one of the following things:
1. Trump won the election 2. 1/6 was not a violent insurrection 3. The violence on 1/6 was Antifa’s fault 4. Even if none of the first three are true, they’re okay with it because Democrats are worse
If you see a TRUMP yard sign or truck flag in 2021, it means “I want him to steal the next one.”

I don’t know if the fabled flight logs to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island will ever revealed to the public.
But there one thing I can tell you: if Donald Trump’s name is on it, Republicans will be fine with it.
If more sordid details emerge, and it is revealed that Donald Trump did in fact have sex with underage girls while on Epstein’s private island, I absolutely guarantee that Republicans will be fine with it.
Does anybody seriously expect this to play out any differently?
