In one of the most problematic pieces of evidence for Trump, the indictment recounts how, according to his lawyer’s words, Trump made a “plucking motion” that implied, “why don’t you take them with you to your hotel room and if there’s anything really bad in there, like, you know, pluck it out.”

I can't imagine this level of cult of personality forming around any other current Republican. Will American politics get back to "normal" when Trump inevitably shuffles off or is this the new normal?

If Trump is convicted, it becomes a potential ideological flashpoint a la Ruby Ridge and Waco. Hence why we should all consider reigning in our enthusiasm about any future verdicts.

So a small group of nuts will conveniently collect themselves into one place and then be slaughtered?

I fail to see the big problem.

No, I mean that it will drive fringe ideology for at least a couple of decades.
