    That’s an interesting thought… I can’t help but feel like it would have just delayed an inevitable outcome though, potentially allowing the underlying political movement even more time to grow and fester. It’s unknowable, but I feel like we’ll be pondering questions like that for a long time.

      It seems like logically, we should feel lucky to have such an incompetent campy comic book villain con man as the face of their ridiculous movement. But it doesn’t feel like that at the time.

        I would feel “lucky” if the dipship’s popularity dropped to less than 10% support by the end of 2020 and never shown his face in public ever since. But now, this is a nightmare.
