On the other hand, Trump is the Teflon Don, and hopes that the Mueller Report would doom Trump were dashed. Furthermore, no matter what the Jan 6 committee and the NY Attorney General discover, it's possible that GOP voters will continue to support him.

Another consideration is that Trump is so extreme that he's probably unelectable if the votes are fairly counted. So, in one sense, Trump is good: if a more competent autocratic politician than Trump took over the GOP, we might be in even more trouble. Still, stopping Trump seems wise. The great mystery of our era is that so many Americans like the guy.

You'd think that some sensible billionaires would save us (as Ralph Nader imagined). There are about 614 billionaires in America, and it would take only a few of them to make a real difference. They could pool their resources.

Perhaps we should all march in the streets near the homes of billionaires and beg them to save us.

Billionaires, save us! But aren't they the problem?
