Yes everything is different right now and all precedent and apprehensive reactions should be disregarded - aka what every single hysterical partisan in history has said.

Don’t worry… we’ll be okay whatever happens. It’s never as bad as what the FUD pushers wished would happen (“feared” would be the wrong word here).

Except we handed Trump 2024 on a silver platter

Nah.

In terms of tearing the country apart…I think you need to separate the nut jobs who idolize Trump from the right leaning folks who simply supported Trump mainly because he was on their side of the line and frankly not an elderly democrat who was a punchline before he became “The Alternative”.

The nut jobs will create problems, the others will complain but not act. Overall the others far outweigh the nut jobs.

It's not 2016 anymore. civil war and the great divorce is mainstream

I’m in the heart of Trump country and I guarantee the number trump flags flying and MAGA hat wearing ain’t what it used to be around me. I definitely don’t see the same levels of Trump adulation now.

Frankly even some hardcore supporters I know are tired of his shtick and lean DeSantis.

No sure what you fully mean here, but the 60s/70s, and the civil disobedience at the time, make all current stuff, BLM, the protests, seem tiny in comparison.

What isn't kosher about it?

Trump is being indicted by a grand jury, not the DA. Half the people in his orbit have done time in prison for committing crimes that just happened to benefit him.

Many top Democrats are fuming?

Name them.
