I’m not worried about Don Sr. if he’s convicted, but if there aren’t serious convictions among his children, I’m somewhat worried that Don Jr. or Ivanka might step in as the next fascist of choice for the GOP. I think Ivanka and Kushner are smart enough to stay out of the political limelight if they get out of this shit show without a long jail term, but Don Jr. is practically a carbon copy of the racist asshole that spawned him.

However, the rest of the maga bootlickers currently in office prove that you don’t need to be a Trump to spew hateful rhetoric and persecute minorities, so who knows. I’m hopeful that some serious repercussions at the highest levels of the Trump administration might be able to restore some of the deteriorating political norms, and that plus a few more judges tossing out gerrymandered maps might be the last few nails in the coffin for the GOP. But then again, the genie might be out of the bottle and the next fascist that makes it to the Oval Office probably won’t be as incompetent as Trump.
