(2,065 posts)Going into the 2022 midterm elections, which will then play a decisive role in setting the stage for the 2024 presidential election. And the stakes couldn't be higher, in my opinion. If the Democrats don't maintain or strengthen their majority control over both houses of Congress, Republican legislators are going to scuttle and suppress any further inquiries and investigations into Trump's crimes against our democracy, setting the stage for their "Dear Leader's" return to the White House in 2024. If that happens, Trump will probably institute a reign of terror as he tries to get even with all those who he sees as being disloyal and subversive to what he sees as his rightful claim to the presidency in 2020 - in short, with another Trump presidency, you can kiss American democracy goodbye.
In other words, these hearings have to "stick" in the political dialogue going forward, and in the minds of American voters. And they have to stick BIG.
