Is this enough to lock him away and make him irrelevant again? …probably not
You mean make him more popular with the pro-russian anti-vax Qanut base? Absolutely.
If you think locking him up would make him more popular, you fundamentally don't understand Republicans. They value power and hierarchy. They value doing things and getting away with them.
They are not like Democrats and liberals who value ideas. There are no Republican martyrs. When Nixon resigned, Republicans stopped talking to him.
Don't you remember how quiet it was when Biden was elected? Trump couldn't get on TV anymore. Maybe he would call in to a show or two, but he didn't have any rallies and nobody interviewed him. When Republicans go to jail nobody supports them, because they value hierarchy.
The whole point of hierarchy is that you're untouchable.
The magats love him because the dems hate him. We'll still hate him when he's in prison, so they'll still love him
