There is tension on both sides, huge tension.

On the Left, we are hoping and praying that the FBI went after something big and found something big, something big enough to justify the raid on an ex-president’s home. On the Right, there is a tension that they are not in control but damn well want control. They feel entirely victimized even though they don’t know what Trump had.

THAT is the most amazing part. The MAGAs do not know what Trump might have been hiding. Nor do they know why Trump would hide it and not return it to the National Archives. It could be extremely nefarious. Of course, the Left doesn’t know what the FBI found, either. We must hope that it is huge, jaw-dropping, even though we know that it won’t matter to the MAGAs.

We also know that the leads that we had in the Senate in Georgia, Ohio, Georgia, and Arizona, are now meaningless because the MAGAs are as energized as they have ever been. They do not care what laws Trump might’ve broken. They aren’t waiting to hear what Trump might have been hiding. They are ready to mobilize now, and we’ll be very lucky if things don’t get violent in the next two weeks.

Lauren Boebert is already calling this “Gestapo” stuff without any acknowledgment that the FBI might have just intercepted the sale of national secrets to Vladimir Putin. Again, if you listen to Lauren Boebert, it doesn’t seem to matter.

What if the documents prove that Trump was essentially a spy? Stealing top American secrets in order to sell them to the highest bidder? It won’t matter. The tension is building.
