In the bigger picture, Why would his defecting to russia be a bad thing?
If trump stays in this country, and is convicted and buried in prison, or even just live under a cloud for the rest of his life, half the country under FOX and the trumpian wing of the GOP, which is to say essentially the entire GOP, will shout “deep state” and “political persecution” to the end of time.
If trump defects, FOx and trumpian wing of the Republican Party will forever be known as the party of the greatest traitor in history, and disappear as a political factor. The half of the country that hangs on their every word would be dispirited, Shattered, profoundly discredited in the eyes of good proportion of themselves. Acts to reverse what trump did in office, including stealing Supreme Court seats for the antiprogressive causes, will automatically be seen as necessary for reversing effects of embarrassing effects of criminal foreign manipulation.
Trump defecting to russia is the best, as well as the most fitting, conclusion to the trump era that can be imagined.
It would be the sort of catharsis for which a extremely great price would be very worthwhile indeed.
