Summary

Merrick Garland’s failure to swiftly prosecute Trump for inciting the January 6th insurrection allowed Trump to run for president again in 2024.

Garland’s slow-walking of the investigation undermined the seriousness of Trump’s actions and normalized him as a Republican front-runner.

Garland’s inaction contributed to the current state of the republic, where Trump is poised to return to the White House.

    American propagandists trying to pin blame on an individual instead of admitting the problems they’re having are symptoms of capitalism, and I’m not buying it for a second.

      There is more than enough blame to go around to pin some on individuals

      Garland deserves a loooot of blame

      Biden does too

      DeJoy does

      Whomst ever decided campaining with the cheneys and advocating for 10 year old GOP policies/talking points instead of leftist economic policy deserves tons of blame

      This is a bad take.

      I. our system, we have people that are singularly responsible for somethings.

      Merrick Garland was one of those people.

      You “not buying it” changes nothing about the situation.
