The attack upon Trump is not without rationale; the swamp elites fear that this time, with only one term, and having had his political nose punched in so many times, he may actually do what he said he will do in 2016, and clear out the swamp. With a Republican majority, he could truly wreak havoc. And, that is what they fear. However, suppose they succeed in putting Trump behind bars, while Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise, as Bob Dylan once sung in a song. It is likely that this very act will radicalise Republicans, not already radicalised, and De Santis as a replacement for Trump could very well succeed in sinking the Left where Trump may have failed. So, there must be vast quantities of headache powders being consumed with the cocaine by the Leftist New Class at present as they try to work out strategies for dealing with disaster.
How much easier would it have been to have let Trump win in 2020, then continue to neutralise him, as was done in the presidency? No, it must be full bore exterminationism all the time.
