The persecution of Trump brings to mind the BLM riots: they both represent the fact the government has gone way beyond its legitimate functions, to oppression of those not in the political class (Trump being the most outside the political class politician I'm aware of) by those in the political class). The BLM riots were because of the abuse Derek Chauvin delivered to George Floyd (and while beside the point, IMHO Floyd mostly died of an overdose - Chauvin was following their training obviously since no other cop there objected), in a way the straw that broke the camel's back from the political abuse dished out via civil asset forfeiture, policing for profit, arrests for petty crimes, no-knock drug raids often on the wrong home. There have been many black and poor victims of corrupt police. The Democrats who ran the police department that hired, trained and managed Chauvin, all of a sudden wanted to defund the police blaming them, "systemic racism" (an admission they are racists by definition, including if they are black) and Trump for Floyd's death. It was a distraction that worked.

Check out "defund the police" in Google Trends. You'll find it peaked shortly after Floyd died.

The political class likes to abuse the rest of us, because their power makes them rich, entitled. and grandiosity. Trump is a master at getting them to expose themselves, and they've shown they're happy to politicize the government to stay in power. Unfortunately, in this case, he's not going to convince a lot of Democrats until the convictions are overturned, after the election.

Still, I'm hopeful. While the polls before the conviction showed Trump leading significantly in almost all the swing states, the gamblers had Biden as a slight favorite to win! I think they're thinking big blue counties in swing states will cheat (it looked like it happened in 2020). Yet after Trump's conviction, the gamblers now have Trump a slight favorite.
