Say what you will about him, but at least Mike Pence showed integrity when Trump tried to pressure him to refuse to certify Biden as the winner of the 2020 election. Pence stood up when it counted most and served and protected the Constitution of the United States at a very pivotal moment in US history. I very much doubt that Mike Johnson possesses such integrity. Johnson will do anything the rapist asks him to do. He'll help the convicted felon overturn the results of the mid-terms if the Dems win. Nothing surer. With his personal lawyer Todd Blanche now running the DOJ, he can say it's all legal too. America has never been closer to having a dictator President in its entire history as it is now with Trump in the White House. Well, they technically already have one. Absolute Power: Rules without constitutional limits, checks, or balances.No Elections: Comes to and maintains power through force, fraud, or manipulated processes rather than free democratic votes.Suppression: Often relies on intimidation, terror, propaganda, and the removal of basic civil liberties to stay in control.America was warned, but they didn't listen. I think it's too late to stop him now. I'm not so sure. A Dem prez is all but assured in 2029. DL won't meddle in an election he's not in. He'll want the Republican candidate to lose to show how awesome he is. The next presidential campaign needs to be about restoring American democracy. The Dems will hold the House. A prez just needs to sign serious legislation into effect, maybe even look at constitutional changes to things like the pardon power. Serious criminal consequences to things like election interference, corruption, foreign collusion and money laundering, etc. The next Dem AG needs to go in fighting from day one. If the Dems can get their act together, there will be serious popular consensus for this. Also, maybe a separate conversation, but they need to sort out AI - quick. If they don't, every procedure they put in place can be overturned by an algorithm, foreign or domestic. All electrical power, infrastructure and money in the bank is at risk, never mind things like ballots. In the fullness of time, DL may seem to be only a precursor to what happens next. He can’t run again for President but he can benefit from a Republican in the White House who does his bidding because that would be financially and legally a very good thing for him. Having someone in the Oval Office who’s a Republican will mean Trump can get them to make deals that financially benefit him and use the office to shield him from any legal repercussions from his two corrupt terms as President. So I’d say he has a very strong interest in seeing a Republican as the next President because if it’s a Democrat, he’s cooked.  What leverage would Trump, out of office, have on a Republican prez, nutso? He will still be leader of the MAGA cult and that has tremendous influence on Republicans in Congress. He did the same when Biden was President and showed how much influence he still had over Republicans.
