I keep riding this emotional roller coaster between despair and optimism, but as we approach the election, I’m on the optimism upswing. Yes, Trump is a vile despicable human being. Yes, he no doubt has multiple plans to avoid losing this election. Yes, the Senate GOP and the Supreme Court will back him no matter what, even to their own deaths. But you know what? I believe that someone, somewhere, has accounted for these scenarios. If us armchair quarterbacks can imagine all these ideas - and the media has been reporting many of them in their breathless fear-mongering tone, as well - then there’s somebody out there who does this for a living who has imagined them as well. I am growing in my confidence that no matter what manner of fuckery Trump and his complicit traitors employ, come January 20th, his ass will belong to the Southern District of New York.
