Nice thoughts, but it’s also just as likely that said “revulsion” never gets serious enough to get more than a handful of wingers and MAGAts upset about it for more than a minute. Trump’s appeal, AFAICT, is founded on a toxic stew of prejudice, fear, self-righteousness and tribalistic politics. And that mess is still going to be stinking up the Republican Party even after Trump gets the boot.

I don’t see it, either. The Republican goal above all else is tax avoidance, and if tax evasion takes place, it will always be pled down to a misdemeanor. If you can avoid taxes, you can pay a lawyer or bribe someone. That is their nature.
