The reaction to the execution of the search warrant on Trumpville by his cult followers has been just as one would expect, unquestioning belief of every utterance of this cornered rat and blind adherence to trump’s call for massive disruption in the wake of any criminal justice actions. Already one lemming is dead, more sure to follow. So, where do I get the ‘Silver Lining’ notion? Where’s the possible good here?
Consider that some unknown fraction of any group of Americans will be MAGATs. Many are easily identifiable due to their ‘in your face’ attitude, they’re deplorable and proud of it. On the other hand there are cultists who, for one reason or another, choose to remain anonymous. One very good reason to remain so affects members of the military and law enforcement, professions where efforts are underway to weed out these, well, weeds.
Sooo.. Trumpville has put a target on the backs of every FBI employee, not just agents, and beat cops have to be vigilant as well. The result, I suggest, will be re-doubling of efforts to bring down trump’s house of cards as rapidly and fully as possible. It’s one thing to wear a badge and go after ‘the bad guys’, it’s another to have that crew go after you personally. Even the Mob knew better than to target law enforcement.
I feel for those dedicated law enforcement officers and other justice officials who have been ‘outed’ by the MAGAts, please be safe. But the big picture is that the MAGATs have pissed off the very folks who have the duty, and ability, to stop this clown car and put the driver in prison. Yet another trump miscalculation.
