    People arguing he shouldn’t be prosecuted is wild, like we’ve been so cowed into submission by this dumpster fire of an electoral system that we’re afraid to prosecute high treason because otherwise the treasonist might win

      Too many people seem to want to “win” at any cost. What they feel they’re winning, I couldn’t begin to guess. The rich jerks are still going to be rich, the poor ones poor, and you all get to live in a fascist hell hole.

      And it’s not like that type isn’t known for turning on their own team too, so in the end, almost everyone loses. What percentage benefited from any of these authoritarian regimes? If it was ever over 10% is be pretty surprised. It’s a pyramid scheme that takes lives.

        This is what happens when the population integrates politics into their individual identities.

        Our government has just become the largest, most expensive game of football and there are only two teams.

      We have/had the same issues here in UK with Boris Johnson and the like.

      The fan clubs of these scumbags are so removed from reality, it’s painful.
