yup. one of the definining attitudes of the trump era has been having no creativity in thinking of ways to deal with him but inifnite creativity when it comes to rationalizing why its smart not to do anything
It mostly annoys me that folks seem unable to process that while they're saying "the system can't treat him as a normal defendant because he is dangerous", that the reality is closer to "he is dangerous because the system has repeatedly refused to treat him like a normal defendant".
yes! "he is a criminal who has committed a bunch of clumsy crimes in addition to being a fascist with dangerous politics" is treated like its a moral dilemma instead of a two-birds-one-stone freebie
Which isn’t to say that it would be easy or risk free but honestly a polity where some large percentage of citizens are contemplating violent action in defense of DONALD F TRUMP is one where a shared adherence to a uniform fact picture has already fled.
