Don't know if people back in the US are noticing much this among all the snark and terror of the latest "possible indictment" and the terror of the perhaps deliberately caused Thiessen SVB ever widening ripples of financial sector catastrophe* -- all sectors of which say it's not our fault, only public panic -- which They have said about every financial catastrophe ever -- We don't have anything to do with it:

A Four-Decade Secret: One Man’s Story of Sabotaging Carter’s Re-election
A prominent Texas politician said he unwittingly took part in a 1980 tour of the Middle East with a clandestine agenda

* Also how so many of the people one knows personally or are adjacent to, who provide us contantly Their superior knowledge and financial know how, are always the ones utterly shocked at what happens, and as it has turned out in our own small circles, they are the ones who are suddenly broke.  These are the people who are managing our own and our nation's money, and telling us what to do.  We should think about these matters, yes?

I’ve seen numerous commentators talk about the fact arresting Trump will guarantee both his nomination and his election. The anger will stir up his supporters to a fierce boil.

I was also shocked to see stories about his growing support among non-white voters. Apparently he’s so far ahead of his rivals because he’s so far ahead in that category. What the hell do black voters see in Donald Trump????

Being "so far ahead of his rivals" at this point would mean just his rivals for the Republican nomination, not the general election. So his being ahead with "non-White voters" would only mean that small subset of non-Whites who plan to vote in Republican primaries.

Trump has increased his popularity with non-Whites, but to my understanding he is still very far from having majority approval among them. And I believe that increase is primarily driven by working class men, who are also the biggest reliable part of his base among Whites.  There are similarities in blue collar culture that cross racial and ethnic boundaries, and I think a lot of blue collar men, especially among Hispanics, interpret Trump's angry bluster as a sign of "machismo", which is very positive for them.

If that's the case, it means Trump will win no matter what, because his arrest will not convince anyone who's not already voting MAGA.

I'd say that, on the contrary, arresting him and re-affirming the rule of law is the best way to keep fascism at bay.

It's a real fucking conundrum. 

If he figures out that he can start saying "Criminal", "Justice", and "Reform" in sequence then I'm joining Wagner. I'll take my chances as a Russian bullet sponge over the future you people are gonna have. 

And please, somebody give me a laugh by pointing out the hypocrisy of such a thing. I could use a good chuckle.

Looks like Desantis is taking some swings:

 

I’m puzzled. Why is going after people who make hush-money payments “fundamentally wrong”? Keeping your deep, dark secrets buried with hush-money is fundamentally right? Has he used hush-money to keep his secrets buried? Maybe not payments to porn stars, but to others, contractors, police, lawyers?

And just how do you become a Soros-funded prosecutor? Does New York ask billionaires for donations to run their Justice departments?

Soros is code.

You simply cannot say: Zionist/Jewish puppet anymore.

Thus right wingers say Soros funded instead. Progress :dunno:

They aren't talking about Soros running the departments. They are talking about him donating to their political campaigns. In many places in the U.S. District Attorneys, who are the chief prosecutors in a jurisdiction, are elected by the public. I think that's a bad idea myself, but that's the way it is. And the New York Post has repoted that Alvin Bragg, the District Attorney in charge of the relevant Trump case, had $1 million donated to his last campaign by George Soros. Not sure if that's accurate, but it's been widely repeated in the right wing media, and mentioned by Trump himself in his fundraising emails.
