          Biden and company had the chance to put Trump in jail immediately after Jan 6. Trump did some blatantly illegal shit and most of the country was aghast. He prioritized other shit and appointed Merrick Does Nothing Garland because of vibes or something. So Trump and the media was able to rehabilitate his image and memory hole the attack on our constitution.

          Biden could have worked on court reform since this fascism is coming from the fed soc six. Nothing he did would stand up to them, but he made a blue ribbon panel that said it was all good. The justices then gave Trump immunity to do whatever the fuck he wants. Meaning he can pardon people for criminal acts. There is no check anymore.

          The Dems should have seen what is coming from the fascists. They even called Trump a fascist, half heartedly given that they also wished him well after he got shot (or maybe they are just cool with fascists?). They knew about project 2025. But are we seeing any resistance to the destruction of our government from them? No. But I am getting plenty of fundraising texts.

          The South Koreans parliamentarians stormed their fucking capital when their president tried to seize complete power. Ours meekly write strongly worded letters about how this is all illegal.

            Biden and Merrick did everything they could to charge Trump. Trump blocked the trial using his own corrupt judge.

            This is the same talking point used in lemmy.ml and hexbear to try to blame democrats for Trumps actions.

                An investigation is required first. The insurrection involved thousands of people all of which had their own cases, witnesses and evidence, all had to be investigated before going after one of the most powerful people in the country, Trump, owner of judges.

                It was not possible to just lock up Trump and if that was attempted there would be another January 6 with people storming whatever building Trump was held in.

                But I think you know that and the intent of your comments is to blame democrats for Trumps actions.

                  Again you are acting like this was a normal case. It wasn’t normal. Charge him with his obvious crimes and get him before he has a chance to change the narrative.

      That didn’t help matters at all but IMO this is a culmination of many years by each side. One side being unapologetically aggressive and the other not wanting to look impolite.

      “Hey I’m gonna take your shit” “Good sir, please don’t or I’ll publicly air my grievance” “Fuck off, eat shit” “Very well, may I trouble you for some salt?” “Fine, but that’s all you’re going to get. Enjoy your shit”
