I was wondering what the right wing and people like Hannity, Limpballs, Coulter, will try to spin it besides fake news. Will some of them jump ship? Will Hannity maybe get called to testify? Just wondering what the board thinks will happen.

(4,066 posts)They won't admit he's guilty. They'll say any tapes are doctored by the deep state. They'll say that everyone was just out to get him so they set him up.
Some of them will become violent. We could have something like the Bundy standoff at a Federal building but much, much worse. Because Trump won't be trying to de-escalate anything. He'll be fanning the flames.

(3,239 posts)His hardcore supporters are mainly the bully type and are really just cowards when they haven't got a lot fo support. They will just go back to staring at sports, Fox and other mindless pursuits.

(72 posts)will be as bogus as usual, but I'm thinking also will be more incendiary speech.
Living where I do in rural Appalachia I do worry more about the reactions of the neighborhood, 70% voted for Palin, then 70% voted for 45. Way too many people here think the opposite of reality regarding their savior/hero.

(31,261 posts)Lower level congresspeople that are not part of party high leadership may be exposed to violence, ala Congresswoman Giffords.

(1,124 posts)insisting he did nothing wrong and kind of shrinking back into the walls & then forming their little militias until next their next white hope comes along. I hope this time the lesson we are learning stays with us much longer and we actually make this white nationalist, misogynistic, racist behavior so unacceptable in our society that they never raise their heads again.
