Is Joe Biden in the List of People Who Are Going to Prison if Trump is Re-Elected?

Many are worried about what could happen if Donald Trump is re-elected. Some fear that there may be a list in his possession containing individuals who he intends to prosecute. This raises alarming questions about the potential for a post-2024 America under the guise of retribution. If history is any indicator, the consequences could be dire.

Personal Tragedy: Life Under Dictatorship

I have personal experience with living in a dictatorship, having grown up in a country where a president could exact retribution on his critics. Take the Philippines under President Rodrigo Duterte, for instance. A critic of Duterte's unwarranted drug campaign, former Senator Leila de Lima, was jailed. This unjust imprisonment occurred despite her not being responsible for any wrongdoing. Now, monthlies like Trump, who are keen on running for senator to avoid scrutiny and charges, the situation does not seem to change.

Why Biden is Safe

While the idea is frightening, there are two primary reasons why the notion of Joe Biden facing incarceration due to Trump’s re-election is highly unlikely:

Biden has not committed any crime that justifies a trip to prison, regardless of Trump’s claims. The possibility of Trump winning is slim to none. His chances took a significant hit due to several factors, including a combination of unethical campaigning and ethical voter disenchantment.

Why Trump’s Chances of Re-Election Are Slim

Let's delve into the reasons why Trump may not win the presidency a second time:

2016 Election Tactics: In 2016, Trump’s electoral success was attributed to two key factors: he successfully swayed enough voters with fabricated narratives about 'Mexican rapists, drug dealers, and murderers' and insinuated that Hillary Clinton was a significant threat to America. These tactics were both ethically questionable and psychology-based. Post-2016 Attitudes: Despite the success of his smear campaign, the majority of the American populace recognized that Trump was an unsuitable candidate. Therefore, enough voters stayed home or chose to support other candidates in the 2020 election. Legal and Moral Scrutiny: Trump already has a record of 34 felony convictions and substantial fines and penalties for various transgressions. His latest actions do not align with the moral and ethical standards expected of a president.

The Backlash against Trump Supporters

There has been a significant shift among Trump supporters. Many who openly supported Trump and engaged in his smear campaigns are now visibly backing away. This change is due to the realization that:

The Evidence is Mounting: Increasingly, the evidence against Trump’s claims of election fraud and witch hunts is becoming undeniable. Realization of the Mistake: Many Trump supporters have come to understand that they were misled and are now attempting to ignore or deny their support. Economic Impact: Trump’s supporters have been unwittingly funding his legal battles through their donations. The mounting legal and financial costs are a significant strain on these supporters.

Unfavorable Political Climate for Trump

While some hardcore Trump supporters remain loyal, the majority of the electorate has shifted away from him:

Polling Trends: Recent opinion polls indicate a major upset, with a significant number of potential voters choosing to support alternative candidates to avoid the risk of appearing to 'sell out' to their friends and neighbors. Tactical Alignment: Many see it as a strategic mistake to vote for Trump again, leading to a shift towards supporting other candidates who align better with their values and expectations.

In conclusion, the current political landscape indicates a major shift away from Trump. This transition suggests that the 2024 election will be recorded as one of the most significant upset elections in American history, with Joe Biden or another candidate likely to win.
