Trump
Normalised by America, maybe.
Outside of it, we're all wondering what the fuck is going on.
A lot of us inside the US are wondering the same thing still
And still wondering if he might actually come back.
What do you think the odds are?
After his arrest, probably 50/50.
I say this as a liberal with conservative family. Theyβll vote for him again.
Despite the Capitol's riot, a survey showed 1/3 of Americans thought Biden's presidency was illegitimate. The conservatives see the lawsuits as political prosecutions.
I'd say unless the non-trump voters come out to vote in a historical number like the last election, he stands a good chance of becoming a president again. And a number of states have passed laws that would make it harder for some subsets of voters to vote.
