Trump’s last two indictments actually enhanced his political position. This one may do the same
This time the former president is potentially looking at charges involving his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, remainingThe last two actually enhanced his political position. This one may do the same.
For all the conventions that were shattered in the Watergate period, which reshaped American politics for a generation, the upheavals of the Nixon period seem tame in comparison with the seven years in which Mr. Trump has been at the centre of American politics. His predecessors were generally faithful to the established rules of politics, if not always to accepted notions of marital fidelity. Mr. Trump shattered both, but his greatest political impact was to mobilize a fresh coalition of Americans – disillusioned, impatient with the way Washington and the economy worked, often angry – and mould them into a voting bloc that has remained loyal to him despite his peccadilloes and others’ prosecutions.
In this reading, the Democrats – who, despite Southern resistance, generally supported the Civil Rights movement and who have backed efforts to liberalize American social life – are regarded as conservators of the status quo of power while the Republicans – once the party of devout respect for tradition and slow, measured change, if any at all – see themselves as the vanguard of social revolution.
