Back in June of last year, as I was still high on the hopium of dispatching Donald Trump and his MAGA cult once and for all, I recall reading a piece by Asawin Suebsaeng and Adam Rawnsley in Rolling Stone with the provocative headline "Trump’s Not ‘Bluffing’: Inside the MAGA Efforts To Make a Second Term Even More Extreme." I read it with great interest, but it sounded crazy. They quoted a bunch of Trump insiders saying things like “Yes, we do really want to burn it all down," and when asked about potential court challenges, they replied, “Who cares?”
I didn't take it too seriously at the time. Trumpers are often blowhards just like their boss, and at the time, I confess I didn't believe that America would restore Trump to the White House after what he did on Jan. 6, the stolen classified documents and his felony convictions. Why would people want to buy that mess again?
