        Nah man go look at a lot of these clowns in the hate groups and you’ll see a lot of them are not even white. That leader of Proud Boys wasn’t even white. These are different days my friend.

      They did not give a shit about ignoring evidence during Impeachment I, so well before that.

      Their still tough on crime, unless it’s their candidate tried and convicted in a way that might impact an election - then he’s not a “convicted felon” he’s a “political prisoner”, at least according to right wing Twitter.

      His being rich and white probably has a lot to do with that too. Though I imagine if he were tried and convicted this time last year there’d be at least a little less crying about it, they’d just push Ron or Nikki as their candidate instead. His not being convicted until he’s the only candidate and it’s essentially too late to really run anyone else instead makes it “feel” more like it’s using the criminal courts as a political attack vector rather than criminal justice doing it’s normal thing, regardless of whether or not that’s true.
