The Senate didn't convict Trump for January 6th because manyRepublicans truly thought he wouldn't run again. I know McConnell, Lankford, Tillis, Rubio, Graham, Portman, Ernst, etc. come to mind as votes that could have been whipped if a few more GOP leaders stood up. Perhaps they thought the courts would work faster than they did....locking Trump up. They couldn't fathom that Trump would be re-elected.....again.
During the '24 election, the amount of lies and scare tactics were extreme. Trump tanking immigration reform, proclaiming "they are eating dogs and cats" (a lie), villainizing/endangering LBTQ (criminal), the CONSTANT scary anti-trans commercials, etc. The Butler event was incredibly pro-Trump vote getting event. It's one of the reasons I truly do not believe it was a Democratic operation. Instead either a lone freak kid or one of those crazy conspiracies floating around about Trump staging it. Not sure we will ever truly know.
Many voters are transactional and distrust both parties. Trump told them what they wanted to hear--"lower taxes", "release the Epstein files," "lower costs on day one" "no-more wars" and "free IVF". Many of those voters were hoodwinked and they know it..now. Plus, there was the oddity of Biden handicapping the Dems by not running again and let the nomination process work itself out. On top of that, Covid made us all crazy. It was a FREAKING WILD SURREAL election.
To say the '24 election proves the irrelevance of January 6th ignores everything else that occurred.
The only reason Trump works so hard to literally destroy the evidence, fabricate nonsense and punish/threaten anyone who speaks the truth is .......he knows what he did was seditious and criminal. He'd be in jail if he didn't get re-elected. That's why Trump pulled out all the lies, hate, and shadiness to get elected.
I saw January 6th live. You did too. The Republican Senators who know better spoke out against it....before the Trump machine threatened them all. You may cling to a thread of a false narratives to prove your point. But you are ignoring a mountain of plain speaking truth to live in your reality.
Trump is a stain on our American experience. Not sure we will survive him.
Absolutely none of that is true.
First of all, it was obvious he was going to run again, because he's an alpha male and didn't ever intend to take the stolen 2020 election laying down, hence the concerted efforts to incarcerate and destroy him and his family by the Biden(*) handlers.
Second, to pick just one point, 'free IVF?' Really? I assume you missed the EO on the topic, but that couldn't have swayed more than a couple dozen voters in 2024. Also,

Drug Pricing Reforms
- Most-Favored-Nation Pricing: A deal with EMD Serono will tie the prices of certain IVF medications, such as Gonal-F, Ovidrel, and Cetrotide, to the lowest prices paid in other developed countries.
- Discounts Available: Patients using the government portal TrumpRx.gov can access these medications at significantly reduced prices, potentially saving up to $2,200 per IVF cycle.
Third, LOL. He's by far the greatest president of our lifetime. Who is trying to 'survive' his second term? Antifa? Illegal aliens? Somali frauds?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
