I could have been more clear.
I do not compare Trump, to Capone in many ways.
However. Trump does use some of his tactics. As far as witness intimidation, and a public proclamation of his innocence and unfair attack by the US government.
Capone had many traits that Trump has, as a public figure.
A public that supported him, despite of what they knew but could never be proven.
It’s interesting that you feel Trump lacks a syndicate, when prisons are being packed with people involved with J6. People who have an overwhelming theme of stating that they were there for Trump.
I’m not going to address Hillary. She NEVER had an office to relinquish.
☆I have said before, that I believe Trump WILL win in ‘24.
I expect that the left will act similar to last time. Trump DID lose the popular vote.
Which, I think, is the most jagged pill the country had to swallow. But swallow it did.
Attempts to remove him, ultimately failed.
It was a time of daily complaints about Trump. The left leaning media SO sure, at each turn, they had Trump. It got old fast.
I was luckily drunken, or otherwise medically rendered oblivious to the world during the pandemic years.
It’s impossible for me to imagine precisely how I would have behaved, as the person currently typing.
I still don’t/won’t vote. So. I won’t cry too much, when he wins. I’m accustomed to the bad guys winning. The fact that he won, even with great help from circumstance, told me how far the nation had fallen.
I was forced to recalibrate my expectations for the fate of humanity.
I see the world now, in a different spectrum.
I will say this.
There are currently millions of great, hard working, struggling, decent, culturally and otherwise important members of our society (in USA) who happen to be lacking a piece of paper that means they can’t be here.
IF Trump follows through on his words, and I start seeing members of my community gathered up into vans and hauled away, it will be a VERY unfortunate thing.
My neighbor is my neighbor, because of proximity, and greater contribution to all.
They are my countrymen.
I firmly believe that making sweeping changes that could result in mass deportations, would snag some “undesirables,” but would mostly involve millions of people who have been here for decades.
We educate SO many great people, but they have to leave once they become even better.
These people, make up the rich tapestry that America is, and represent where it could ascend.
*Trump’s greatest mistake, would be underestimating the majority of the country, that unlike his sheep, have no blind loyalties to him.
If you want to see what Trumpers are capable of, reference J6. There were some wolves, but mostly sheep. Yawn…
I personally have no fear of his cowardly ilk.
It’s possible that Trump is ignorant enough not to be aware of the amount of minorities (“vermin”) in the US military.
He might quickly regret further alienating the military, by ordering them to round up their parents and families.
Now THAT, would be unfortunate.
He’d have to hold on for dear life, for four years of constant legal bombardment from his adversaries. Maybe a few more impeachments?
No.
Trump will have a really tough time, when he wins. So tough, he may lash out too much, and overstep.
It’s hard to say what the “left” will do. I do not consider myself a left-winger.
A more intriguing prospect, to me, is “what happens if Trump’s sheep rub their eyes?” Well. Then he’d have Jack and Shit, and Jack “left” town…
