1. Morals Out The Window

From the standpoint of Donald Trump and most of the Republican Party, morals don't mean anything (unless it comes to their favorite bible verses). And the law doesn't mean anything either if they don't get punished for breaking it. I have said this since 2016 and it is even more true now: the only reason that Trump has not been even worse is that the courts will not allow him. When he tried to overturn the 2020 election, he was serious about it even though he knew he had lost. He is a fraudster.

As we saw in this effort to suspend habeas corpus, and some other cases, the legal system along with the US constitution is one of the only things standing in the way of Trump being able to become a dictator, and then appoint a younger crony like JD Vance or someone else who has acted in lockstep with him recently.

The midterms need to be a bloodbath for Republicans to show we will not tolerate wannabe dictators.
