My worry, is in all our history there’s only been one Trump. He’s 99% carnival barker con man and 1 % criminal. If we prosecute the only Trump, will that lead someday to a conventional, sane and normal president being prosecuted?
But January 6 was beyond bad.
If we don’t prosecute Trump, in fifty or a hundred years will another attempt be made to end democracy as we know it?
The coup of Russiagate was beyond bad. We didn’t prosecute anyone for the weaponization of government and the attempt to end democracy as we know it.
Somehow we haven’t slipped completely into banana republic territory but we’re gaining on it.
America is resilient.
