Hence the escalating full force of the entire US govt, against one man (and by proxy, the citizenry of the USA)
The best outcome from all of this would be a Trump victory in 2024. A very close second would be the total collapse of the republican party brought on by their refusal/inability to protect Trump and by extension, their own voters. If Trump is neutralized it would represent the final and ultimate betrayal by a party that has done nothing but betray their voters for decades and it would kill the party.
Washington should’ve played ball with Trump. His asks were very reasonable and doable. He was willing to compromise on a great many things. Instead, they stonewalled him and tried to force him from office. They fuked up.
