40. Well, he won't be fighting to the death, will he?

I doubt he believes he'll ever be arrested and prosecuted, for anything, anywhere. I think he fully expects to remain a free man no matter what happens.

The motivation for causing harm will be similar, though. Biden is the enemy and Trump will want to leave him with nothing to work with, nothing to save. He'll rationalize that his supporters didn't fight hard enough to get him re-elected, so fuck them, they deserve to suffer. The whole country deserves to suffer for rejecting him.

What is your sense of how this will end? [View all] Algernon Moncrieff Oct 2020 OP
