You do realize being stuck in a felony trial would make it rather hard for him to effectively campaign.My guy. The dude made the smart play but if life was a story he wouldn’t be an interesting character anymore and that’s the way things are going facts and logic isn’t the natural human way of making sense of the world stories are. This dude was the embodiment of a character an avatar but by breaking away from the path of the character people will lose interest.
So while he will be able to run I don’t know if he’ll be able to win.
The whole situation is the conservative or rights problem in microcosm. The left has hero characters and are fighting a righteous war. The right is that boring kid who won’t play pretend and while the right may be getting some of that back it’s held back by “smart” plays and “rational” arguments.
Living in a society where everyone acts like rational adults with well reasoned arguments is a fantasy we need to embrace the chaos of reality a little more. More Pathos less Logos.
He won despite the minor fines, because he showed how corrupt the local DAs, the hypocrisy of the Dems, and walked away with far less of an 'offense' than the woke mob wanted for him, and had been trying to stick him with for nearly a year now.
