They Can't Let Him Back In

Anti-Trump hysteria is in the final analysis not about Trump. The regime can’t allow Trump to be president not because of who he is (although that grates), but because of who his followers are. That class—Angelo Codevilla’s “country class”—must not be allowed representation by candidates who might implement their preferences, which also, and above all, must not be allowed. The rubes have no legitimate standing to affect the outcome of any political process, because of who they are, but mostly because of what they want.
Plan A is to use the Jan. 6 show trials to make it impossible for Trump to run again, or barring that, to win again.
Plan B is for the Jan. 6 committee to lay the groundwork for an indictment of Trump.
Plan C, if none of this works, is to have Trump declared ineligible under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Plan D—just beat him at the ballot box—is also risky.
Plan E is to cheat.
Which leaves Plan F,…but they have made clear that “under no circumstance” can Trump be allowed to take office again.
