It does matter for several reasons. It matters because the American people need to see that justice is being served. For too long this man has gotten away with everything. There are a lot of people who have begun to despair that he will ever have to suffer consequences for what he does. So for that reason alone, yes it is important.
Will he do more grifting to raise the money? No doubt. But I think this is the beginning of the end for him. And although his cult will follow him to hell and back no matter what, I think it’s important for the people who were beginning to be put off by all the indictments, etc. I think this may turn them even more away from him.
It definitely gives the Democrats a good campaigning point, if they use it. It gives me a good response to people supporting him on social media too. Something along the lines of, so you say you’re a Christian but you support a man who was found civilly liable for sexual assault.
Finally, I will ask you a question and response. Would it have mattered if he was found totally innocent? Sure his followers are howling at the moon and saying the jury was bribed and the judge was corrupt, but can you imagine if he was found innocent? Of course it matters.
