      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.

                  Did your strategy work? They tried it and it failed. I posit it failed because they treated normally. Meaning, our leaders didn’t treat it like the existential threat it was.

                  Do you remember the uproar after 1/6. Companies pulling funding, social networks banning him, etc etc?

                  2 years later everyone was integrating him back into normal business. Half the population bought the Fox News line. We could have avoided that if some politicians had a spine. But we have the democrats.

                  It is truly mystifying to me why anyone would defend them after they lost the most winnable election ever. Did they have to do a genocide? Did they have to trot out a fucking Cheney as their main character?

                    They did the only option other than doing nothing. As the saying goes: “you can do everything right and still fail”.

                    It’s pretty hypocritical to claim you don’t want the GOP breaking laws and performing coups but it’s ok if democrats do it.
