When I was a bit younger, during the Bush era, I bought into people saying everything was historical and this was going to be the catalyst for some huge change in politics. The reality is more depressing, there’s just a constant stream of this kind of thing, and they just fades away and gets replaced in a couple weeks by the next thing. Since this is literally a mug shot of a president, yeah it’s a bit of a historic pic, but don’t get drawn into thinking it’s like The Symbolic Image That Will Define This Generation Of Politics. Although maybe 2016-2022 of U.S. politics to be fair, like if the news 30 years from now is going to show a montage of what happened in politics around now.
Oh it’s not going to change anything. This rico case is DOA and Trump win or lose is still going to be Trump. The only image more iconic to come from this would be Trump in a orange jumpsuit, but that’s not going to happen.
