The most consequential thing that allowed MAGA to resurface was Biden appointing Merrick Garland to AG. His slow walking of the prosecution of Trump led us to where we are now.

You're 100% right about this, and I missed this in my criticism. Appointing Merrick Garland as AG is probably Biden's biggest fuck up.

This is just not true, unfortunately. All of Trump’s legal trouble, including dozens of felony convictions, didn’t move the needle against him one bit. To the contrary, he only gained support during that time period. The people voting for Trump did not care one bit about any of the criminal cases against him, such that there was nothing Garland’s case could’ve done to change that. Even the attempts at prosecution only seemed to make Trump more of a martyr in the eyes of his followers.
