It will be a testament to the absolute stranglehold that Trump has over the Republican MAGA base that he can be as low energy and boring as he is at the moment and STILL be the 2024 frontrunner for the Republican POTUS nomination.
So, we are going into a situation where Trump is under any normal condition would be a big old dud of a nominee like Jeb! And, yet, Trump could very well be the next president of the United States despite how dull, low energy and boring he is.
And, remember, if Trump is the 2024 Republican nominee, the possibility of a Second American Civil War increases dramatically. Not only could Trump brazenly steal the 2024 election prompting Blue States to think seriously about leaving the Union, it could be that once it’s clear that Trump’s second term agenda is cold hard fascism, the same thing might happen.
It could happen even though Trump is very, very low energy and should be pushed aside by someone like Ron DeSantis who would do the exact same thing only with a bit more pep in his step.
So, pretty much, we’re totally completely fucked. I’m always wrong, however, so it’s possible that something will happen between now and Election Day 2024 that makes all my alarm look very hysterical and foolish.
