I'm feeling somewhat lost and disheartened at the idea Trump might actually leave office. I kept waiting for the genius trap to spring, and for Trump to save us from all this corruption.

What I can't figure out is why Trump couldn't overcome the deep state. Is this part of his plan? Was it really just the courts (Supreme Court included) who refused to follow the law that screwed us over, and even Trump couldn't overcome that obstacle?

And if he does leave... does that count as him betraying us? I love the idea of Trump forming a new party, but to what end? If we couldn't win during this blatantly fraudulent election, what makes us think we'll do any better in 2024?

I'm not meaning to be a doomer - and I hope something happens today that makes me eat crow. But what I'm trying to figure out is how not to get duped again, and it just sort of feels like if Trump leaves and pretends to make a new party for next election, wouldn't I be a fool for supporting that? What good is a whole new party if we couldn't even get justice this time around? His new party will have far less power and resources than he did while he was president, and the corruption dems & republicans are only going to improve their fraudulent tricks, so what good is a new party gonna do come 2024...
