“we learned Monday that the state appeals court has tentatively set an Oct. 4 hearing date on the defense attempt to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from Trump’s state election interference case. The trial judge, Scott McAfee, said in March that Willis could stay on the case if her special prosecutor stepped down. The prosecutor, Nathan Wade, with whom Willis had a romantic relationship, did so. But the defense still appealed McAfee’s ruling, arguing that it hadn’t cured the alleged conflict of interest and that the case itself should be dismissed.”

        Sure, but if Trump manages to win somehow, I am 100% positive that he’ll try to anyways, and he has a shitload of enablers who will follow his lead just because the like the idea of the First American Reich.

        You aren’t getting it. The failure conditions of this next election is “we get a different type of government, and it’s not even remotely democratic, and likely doesn’t resemble our previous type of government much at all”.
