Oh, goodie, we're going to have another degraded reality show mess centered on Donald Trump but meanwhile the race is on to see who will be the first trillionaire and the rational betting is more about how far we'll go in seeing our democracy destroyed and how soon, not about whether it will happen. Because it's already happened to a shocking extent.
Trump's indictment is a sideshow. If something doesn't threaten the hegemony of big money it's a sideshow and nothing is threatening the hegemony of big money. Big money is getting bigger and bigger and our government is more and more owned by corporate interests. Trump's indictment is a charade. The little people are at one another's throats like never before.
In other words, the really rich people with all the power are getting everything they want. Don't celebrate Trump's indictment. We haven't even stopped going backwards.
