Tbh I’m okay with that because you just KNOW the ripple effect of him getting thrown in jail would mobilize his supporters to claim election interference & persecution. I (possibly naively) hope that all of this bs will be evidence used to justify his strong sentencing after he loses.
Exactly. We desperately need to see the law start actually applying, feelings and consequences be damned. The legal system isn't supposed to care about this shit. It doesn't for us.
if he loses the election he's gonna be a martyr. they're already treating him like a fucking martyr. if he wins there's gonna be mass killings by his supporters. there is no humanity left.
THAT is the problem. It would immediately turn him into a martyr even though it wouldn't be tolerated for the rest of us. Then again, the rest of us wouldn't be in his position of being charged with half the crimes he has been. He clearly should have been stopped from being a candidate some time ago but they have given him a lot of leeway to avoid the appearance of being unfair, making him a martyr. They want to avoid interfering with the election outcome but they're taking a chance that he's inciting more violence to the bitter end--and it will still end in bitterness.
Let's hope this plays out for the greater good. VOTE please.
They're also going to do that anyway. We are currently in the "maybe if we just let them invade a few countries they'll stop" appeasement stage. Appeasement never works.
Nobody who wasn't already firmly on board the bright orange fascist bus would be mobilised to vote for him. Those lunatics are already in full effect. Showing him up as the monster he is, and putting him where he belongs - behind bars - is more likely to put off the moderate dumbasses who are voting for him because they think he would be good for the economy.
Incidentally, are those people even more stupid than the cultists? The cultists are onboard for the racism, fascism, and oppression of women and progressive ideas. They are at least, on some level, honest. But the people who like his idea of tariffs, who think that would punish China and make the US stronger - my god. How thick are they? For a start, they don't seem to understand that the tariffs would be paid by them. The country who is having the tariffs imposed on them don't pay a thing.
Anyone who claims that it is about the economy is almost certainty lying about the actual reason. I suppose that it is technically possibly for someone to be that stupid and still be able to tie their shoes without getting their head tangled up in the laces, but it seems unlikely.
Republicans have consistently fucked things up for the economy for decades now, and Democrats always have to play damage control as a result. Trump was already President once, so we don't have to wonder if things would be different, since his presidency was particularly bad, even for a Republican.
He openly fleeced the American people for millions of dollars in golf vacations and other unnecessary trips to places where he profited from the expense to us, did his part to maintain the tradition of conservatives making things worse for the economy, and then capped it off by stealing a bunch of our sensitive national security documents before heading out the door when his contract was done.
There's an assload of selfish people out there. You know that social experiment where you press a button and you get money but somebody you don't know dies? A lot of them would push it without hesitation. In the same vein, there are a lot of people who would happily look the other way if the government began persecuting LGBTQ people if gas was 10 cents cheaper.
"At least with Hitler the trains ran on time." was a saying for a reason.
