a very big account quoted this with “he shouldn’t be allowed to hold govt contracts he’s acting like a rogue state” and I’m sorry but “no more contracts mister!” has never been the punishment for treason

I'm a big supporter of accountability & I really want Dems to pursue it, but I just want everyone -- pols & ordinary Dem voters -- to be prepared for the scale of the pushback against it. It's going to be immense. It will take intense focus & commitment to really follow through on it.

I suspect that Trump 2 will be a bit like Covid, in that a) no one will really want to think about it once it's over, in part because b) everyone will be vaguely ashamed of how they acted during it. Almost everyone was complicit so almost everyone will just want to forget it & "move on."

This is why I keep saying: if Dems are serious about accountability, they need to be ready to bull their way through the scolding & tut-tutting that is inevitably going to greet even the mildest attempts. It will come from Rs, from pundits, from journalists, from centrist Ds. It'll be relentless.

If Dems take a trifecta in 2028, expect to see this ramped up to deafening levels: Dems are obsessed with revenge, they are "criminalizing politics," they are trying to jail their opponents, etc. etc. The naked, grotesque hypocrisy will not even slow anyone down. MSM will gleefully participate.
