It is a Trump 2nd term. A second term means no more worries about pandering to his base while also trying (at least a bit) to appeal to the center right for re-election. And in that scenario as a “lame duck†Trump with nothing to lose - he might stay his present course but might turn even father right as into a right that isn’t the “right†or swing back to a more left position as was once his political home.
I take issue specifically with this part.... since I, too, have worried that Trump might, in a 2nd term, lurch left and appease the rats. But logically, I also know that even if he did... it would still be a 99.9% improvement over how radically left ANY of the Democrat candidates would drag, push, and shove us. So I'm quite willing to take that chance.
