45. I partly agree, but in many ways, don't.

Yes, I'd love to see him in prison for any of the many reasons that he might have to be there.

But if he goes for sex trafficking and/or pedophilia, then the MAGA hats will have an easy excuse for supporting him by saying "That's stuff he did in secret - we had no way of knowing."

Donald going to jail for collusion et. al. doesn't give his supporters an out for supporting him, because all that shit was obvious even before the election. Of course, they would still say "We didn't know", but they'll have a more difficult time convincing people of their ignorance than if Donald goes for pedophilia.

Either way, he's in jail and the world is a better place.

But I don't want to give his supporters any reason to be able to back off their support of him - I want them to have to stew in the juices of their unethical choice to support him. Let them live with the guilt.

(though the average MAGA head isn't gonna feel guilty for anything, even were Donald to be brought to the Hague for war crimes or some other serious thing; but I hope you all get my point).

But yeah, I'll dance when he goes to jail and I don't care what the reason is.

Please, I'm asking this nicely, watoos Jul 2019 #1
