    I long for the day when someone mentions Trump and I respond: “Oh yeah. That guy. Last I heard he was sent to prison. That was years ago. Anyway, changes subject away from Trump…”

      My only affect towards Trump right now is not caring and if he went to prison it probably wouldn’t register emotionally in any way. It’s like I’m already bored of him going to prison before it happens. The internet has memed every lame “Trump in prison” joke into the ground for years, and the idea of him going to prison has been kept on edge since 2016. There’s nothing to say about Trump that hasn’t been said and no joke about him that hasn’t been overdone to the point it’s cringe. Every “make fun of Trump” post is the exact same thing for years, and when I see a pic of Trump my brain basically treats it like it’s an advertisement or spam.

        It’s a good thing then that justice doesn’t depend on the entertainment value of someone breaking the law.

          It’s more like how Trump being in jail or not won’t affect the overall political situation in the US. It’s like the years of fixating on a potential mugshot of Trump as some magic spell that will finally break his support, they’d finally see him as the criminal he is and poof no more Trump. Then it finally happened and here we are.
