So this one is a bit of a blurb. But to go in the other direction with criminal justice, Trump is being indicted again, this time for his withholding of classified documents after he left office. He had these things everywhere, in his bathroom, on a stage in his residence. And unlike Till Lindemann, there's PLENTY of evidence that he committed crimes. Heck the dude was asked nicely for documents back many times and he just intentionally obstructed the process, which is why he was raided last year.
I say: freaking good. The dude has committed so much crap with January 6th and all I don't care if they nail him for tax fraud at this point. Heck he might still face insurrection charges. Again, if we really wanna nail someone for crimes, and they commit so many of them, then they're gonna be nailed for SOMETHING eventually. But yeah. We would be in jail for far less if it was us.
As for how this will impact 2024, idk, he's the republican frontrunner by a massive margin atm, and could still theoretically run from jail (Eugene Debs did it). I don't know if his support would change, although it would impact his ability to campaign at least.
As for Trump in jail and being president? Idk I could see him theoretically being under house arrest but I don't know how that would be any different than being surrounded by secret service 24/7 anyway. We'll have to see how this turns out.
If Trump is knocked out, I'm guessing DeSantis would be the nominee instead, and he's scarier than trump in some respects. More ideologically extreme, and less of a bull in the china shop meaning he might be more effective at maintaining public opinion and getting things done to advance his ideology. What he's done to florida is outright scary. Seriously, screw that guy. I'd almost rather have Trump again than him. I really don't know who is worse.
