Sigh, nothing I write will matter

If you're reading this, you're likely in the Harris camp for this presidential election.

The felon and the prosecutor

And there is likely nothing I could write (or she could do) that would change your November vote.

If, on the off chance, you're reading this as a Trump supporter,

um, there is likely nothing I could write (or he could do) that would change your November vote.

Sigh.

Trump, the candidate who once famously say he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and still not lose his supporters, continues to push the boundaries of convention and decency every single day.

And he's right. He doesn't lose support.

In the last couple weeks, Trump purposely spread lies about immigrants eating pets and taking over a Colorado town. And another woman (of about two dozen) has come forward describing being sexually assaulted by Trump--the man who says he likes to just grab women by the genitals.

No problem.

It's been revealed he's praised Hitler. And claimed he was a better President than Lincoln.

Again, no problem.

Members of his own GOP--staunch, party faithful, even the vast majority of HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION who Trump had vetted and touted as "the best people"--have refused to endorse him, calling him everything from "fascist" to "unfit" to serve as President.

Still, his supporters don't care.

I should have seen this sooner.

I mean, he's already been convicted by a jury of 34 felonies connected to hush money he paid a porn star with whom he had an affair. He's been found liable by a jury of sexual assault. He's been found to have committed business fraud (along with six bankruptcies and failed business ventures such as Trump steaks and the deceptive Trump University).

And the support didn't waver.

Trump was charged with trying to overturn an election--including by helping concoct a scheme of fake electors and pressuring Georgia elections officials to cheat ("I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have"), and he's been charged with hoarding top-secret documents, too. These actions he really no longer even denies, instead, he celebrates and cloaks himself in the literally unbelievable Supreme Court ruling of "presidential immunity"--under which his lawyers argued (successfully, it appears) that Trump could have Seal Team 6 assassinate his political rivals with no repercussions.

And the support needle didn't move.

And, of course, he's been impeached twice--once for improper withholding of Congressional military assistance for an ally, and once for inciting an insurrection--for which his own party members in Congress even called him directly responsible.

And the needle still didn't move.

Eventual House Speaker McCarthy once

Even his party members that decried his insurrectionist rhetoric have changed their tune, perhaps because of their own desire for power and what Trump's MAGA army could do for them, or perhaps from the fear of political retribution via Trump's tweets or from the fear of physical retribution from the violent faction of Trump devotees.

And Trump voters still support Trump.

And I don't get why they still do.

But they do.

And after all that, Trump was right, especially in light of everything else he's done, him shooting someone on Fifth Avenue certainly wouldn't matter at all to them, either.

Sigh.
