First of, Trump is not a Republican. He is Trump. Secondly, Trump has had since his first mandate a nefarious effect in politics worldwide, and he is in part why the far-right and nationalistic movements across the globe, are also rising, through the spread of misinformation on the Internet, that transcend US borders. While I was very well aware that there was a thing like anti-vaxxers in the US, that was never a problem here in Europe, and the rise of misinformation, with the pandemic, and with Trump and the MAGA movement, that became a thing now here, along with other conspiracies on Facebook, like the “Moon landing being a staged hoax”. Retired boomers, that have nothing better to do all day, gobble up that shit as if it is ambrosia!

You overestimate his supporters long term memory. You’re still only 6 months in, still 3.5 years left to go. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

For them, they think it’s easier to escape justice, otherwise, why commit a crime that lands you decades of not even the rest of your life behind bars? If that was the case, then laws would be obsolete and pointless. Laws exist not only to punish, but also to serve as deterrence. Obviously some people like this dumbass, think they are smarter and can get away!

If they divorce, they have to split their possessions. If one of the partner dies, the other gets to inherit all, if no will is made to state otherwise.

Spoiler
it’s sarcasm, in case it’s not obvious enough.
While you are right, Trump allowed that shit to be amplified and legitimizing it. The republicans (at least the more sensible ones) always knew that part of their electorate was into rabid conspiracies, but they would at least town things down, and did not allowed that shit to get much traction. With Trump, that become their bread and butter. Alternative facts, fake news, and all that shit!
