I think that if he loses, Trump's following will rapidly dwindle, apart from those whose belief in him is at a more or less fanatical level. This won't include most or all of the politicians, judges, etc. out there who have their own beliefs, careers, professional ethics and so on that will ultimately guide their actions; and if nothing else, naked self-interest will drive people away from Trump. (For those to whom the latter applies, it was perhaps also what brought them there in the first place.)
Thanks for including that Jonathan Last quote by the way. Between work and packing things, I didn't get to read his post. I will definitely look that one up. (The Bulwark is one of those things that I ended up subscribing to, which originally came to me from your posts. Always, reliably, level-headed and sensible.)
He's right. We're all interconnected. Many people try to ignore that, and in the process, blunt themselves to perceiving so many important things about humanity - both the best and worst things in some ways. I try to look at the *person* in front of me - who they are at heart - and speak to that. Some people think I'm a little off my rocker for it, lol. But recognizing the humanity in others is important. I believe that it helps us see both the good and the bad and react appropriately to it.
I'm hoping that the better side of humanity will win out down south to restore a sense of sanity to America. Soon we will know....
