Everyone knows that getting convicted of felonies is bad. But try telling that to nervous anti-Trumpers.
Carson Markley was on a train journey, traversing the Canadian Rockies with his family, when he learned that Donald Trump had been convicted in New York.
And now, conviction in a jury trial. On the day of the New York verdict, a nurse in Lorain County, Ohio, grew apprehensive after listening to her co-workers and patients talk about how Trump would motivate his voters by railing against a crooked judicial system. When the news alerts went off at a bar in Silver Spring, Md., a bartender asked a patron whether it meant Trump could no longer run for president. “Oh,” the bartender said when he learned Trump was still eligible.
Markley, on his family vacation in British Columbia, briefly wondered whether he should be scoping out Canadian apartments in case of an inevitable Trump victory.Democrats are always “looking for the dark lining in the silver cloud at all times,” especially with regards to Trump, says Dan Pfeiffer, former adviser to President Barack Obama and current podcast host, whose inbox and text messages filled up with this kind of anxious talk after the Trump verdict.
Na’ilah Amaru, a Democratic advocacy and policy strategist, doesn’t think Trump’s guilty verdict will help the former president, but she can understand how people might feel that way. A self-described “urban planning nerd,” Amaru had booked herself on a tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the “Juror’s Guide to Lower Manhattan” — a compendium of neighborhoods walking distance from the courthouse. When the conviction news broke, she just happened to be across the street.
