If 2024 is set to be tumultuous, mercurial, unpredictable... just wait until 2025 if Donald Trump wins the presidency again. Needless to say, his foes don’t have a history of accepting his successes with self-control. As a result of Trump’s unanticipated presidential victory in 2016 were not conspiracy theories launched about how Russia had helped him win; generate a years-long law-enforcement investigation into him and his campaign based on those schemes? Did the activity of some members of government and federal law enforcement agencies not act in an organized manner that resulted in public demonstration? Regretfully, the mentioned demonstrations were mild, given what may yet be in the near future. What’s already happened has put our Republic in an extraordinary place. It’s hard to imagine what’s more extreme than one side in our politics indicting its leading opponent, creating the real prospect of jailing him in the months prior to an election, and excluding him from the ballot in select states. Yet, if Trump wins, we have to assume that this is only a taste of things to come. It’s not as though his enemies are going to conclude that Trump was an intolerable threat as a candidate, but if he’s been elected president again, the voters have spoken, and everyone should revert to politics as usual.
