Waiting For Epstein and Hope

THERE ARE CERTAIN TRENDS in American society which bode well for the future. First and foremost, Trump is extremely unpopular, and his approval rating continues to decline, without any indication that it will ever go back up. Undoubtedly, Trump'll try all sorts of gimmicks to boost this approval, gimmicks such as sending a few dollars to American households, try to bribe us into returning to our previous status as devout, unquestioning, obedient MAGAts. We can already tell him; it aint gonna work. The cat is out of the barn, and the cow is out of the bag, so to speak. The most sensational anti-Trump trend, obviously, is the national bipartisan obsession with the release of the notorious Epstein files, about which I may well be the only living American not to give a rat's psterior, as it were. To me it matters not a whit what or what not the Epstein files do or do not say. And, for that matter, they must say it all, for evidently they are the most hugely prodigiously lengthy collection of documents in the history of the printed word, containing, word has it,enough material to fill and refill the Library of congress several trillion times. I, for ne, have been given more than enough hard evidence that donald Trump is a criminal, a sexual predator,and a pedophile that I firmly believe it,to the point of being absolutely convinced of it. Trump's own words and stated behavior only serve to reinforce the worst about him. Of course, the rape conviciton, and the roughly two dozen rape accusations by other victims do not contribute to his reputation, or my personal opinion of him. It may be that the Epstein files, no matter what they contain, change nobody's mind. The main benefit of Trump's declining popularity it that it increases the chance for the bestpossible outcome of the Trump presidency; that it languishes, or the remained of its duration, in a state of impotent, ineffective torpidity, hobbled by its rejection by ever increasing numbers of its former supporters, as teh conservative tries to extricate itself from the grip of Trumpism, and move on to a Trump free furture with more opportunities for sustainability. Republicans are starting to figure out that the Trump movement is weakening, is unsustainable, and will soon crash and burn, and that the Repblican party must therefore move on fromit. Another positive trend is the almost complete rejection of the Trump agenda through renderings in federal court cases. The federal judiciary has not only stood up to Trump, but has effectively reduced the MAGA agenda to a pile of ashes, an unfulfilled wish list of extreme far right insanity, such as brutally policing American cities to eliminate colored people. Smart phones are exposing the brutal Gestapo tactics of Trump's beloved I.C.E., and the American people are rising up to put a stop to it. There is no scenario by which Trump could be removed from office which would benefit the United States, or the progressive cause. Not his death, nor impeachment and removal,nothing. Why would anyone opposed to Trump want to see him removed, and replaced by teh equally execrable J.D. Vance? Far better to simply endure the remaining Trump administration, with vigorous opposition, while Trump's inevitable decline takes the Republican party and the conservative movement down with it. Its not mrely Trump, but the entire Trump supporting community in the United States which needs to be exposed, excoriated, reviled, opposed, defeated, and allowed to harmlessly fade away. The inevitability of this brings comfort and creates hope. It cannot, however, happen soon enough.
