We all know that the Donald is unaffected by inflicted pain other than his own. I don't see this, or any of his other madness, stopping without a few highly placed Trump suck-ups going to jail. As to Trump himself: leave him on the streets, but take all his money -- every dime!
I don't know. Didn't he lead the 'Lock her up' chants? Hasn't he earned the chance to have that turned around?
Trump is as intellectually-destitute as his core supporters. His vulgarity is his supposed common touch, but vulgarity does not create or imply empathy. I prefer people who understand the complexity of human nature to the best as is possible, which comes from formal learning in the liberal arts.
As for "lock her up"... Kamala Harris is the sort of person who made a career out of locking people up, especially for violent crimes. She broke the "gay panic" defense that used to get gay-bashers off the legal hook. Drug offenses? Tough luck! Family violence? Tough luck!
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
