A Scary Thought

A Scary Thought

A scary thought crept into my head yesterday: What if MS-13 had supported Trump all along? What if they had praised and flattered him, called him their leader, wore MAGA hats? What if they had joined forces with the rioters on January 6th? What would be his attitude now? I really don’t know—and that is the scary thought. Would they now be described as “good people” who “love our country”? What if they agreed that the 2020 election had been “stolen”? How would that affect current deportation policy? I can’t escape the feeling that there is a non-zero probability that things would be different. I wonder what other people think.
