Those of us who speak as if it is are far outnumbered these days. It does not mean that we should not continue but it does mean that reality, as it is being told to the American people, looks very different. Most are not yet uncomfortable enough or angry enough or principled enough to be bothered. Even so, if Trump is reelected the reality will become unavoidable to even the most obtuse or disinterested people. This is because people seen actually going to jail gets attention regardless. If Trump does not get reelected however it is likely that all of this disappears back into the memory hole. Deleted or lost records, missing or otherwise destroyed evidence. It all goes away behind the curtain of justice.
