For years, we have seen the Democrats do everything that they can to try and destroy Donald Trump. Once they realized that wasn't going to happen, they opted for trying to keep him off of the 2024 ballot.
Put mildly, the Dems are overwrought in their pursuit of making sure that the 45th president of the United States doesn't become the 47th.
This is just my gut talking, but I don't think that's working out the way they want it to.
In the early weeks of Trump's presidency, I made what would be my last appearance on the old Fox News comedy/panel show, "Red Eye" (I miss that show). I was a Trump skeptic in early 2017. I truly believed that he wasn't going to govern in any way that a conservative would want.
We were discussing yet another nothingburger of a Trump story that the ninnies in the mainstream media were trying to blow up into something. I believe it was about his wine. When it was my turn to weigh in, I said that I began the year not being a huge Trump fan, but that every day he'd been in office it was like the Dems and the MSM were taking a bulldozer and pushing me closer to him.
Based on conversations I've had with a variety of people in the past few months, I suspect that many are feeling the bulldozer treatment.
There are a lot of Republicans who voted for Trump in 2020, thought that the election was garbage, but didn't want him to run again. Let's face it, there's not a lot of middle ground when it comes to Trump; he's a true love-or-hate proposition. A lot of people who went along for the ride in 2020 didn't want to hang around for more.
Rather than wait and see if any of the other GOP candidates could get momentum in the primary race, the Democrats decided to kick their election tampering into high gear earlier than ever before. They began wrapping up Trump in legal entanglements, hoping that he would never make it to the 2024 ballot.
As this pathetic spectacle has played out, a lot of Republicans who ended last year with a case of Trump fatigue now seem to be finishing this one with an even bigger case of Dem Election Interference fatigue.
This is all anecdotal, but I do interact with a wider sample and variety of people on the right every week than the average American does.
A lot of the Republican voters who were ready to move on from Trump now start conversations with "I'm no Trump fan but..." when I talk to them. That's the same way they'd begin conversations during the two elections when they did vote for him, however reluctantly.
Minutes before I began writing this, news broke that the Colorado Supreme Court kicked Trump off of the state's Republican primary ballot. SCOTUS is most likely going to toss this out quicker than a drunk Kennedy cousin gets bounced from a blue-collar bar that hates rich kids. That doesn't matter to the Left. They get to bare their teeth, froth, and screech about Trump for a few news cycles.
In the long term, it's probably making more and more of that Trump fatigue fade away.
