Summary

Democrats blame Attorney General Merrick Garland for delaying prosecution of Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol attack, allowing him to win reelection before facing trial.

Critics argue Garland wasted critical time before appointing a special prosecutor in late 2022, enabling Trump to evade accountability due to DOJ policy barring prosecution of sitting presidents.

While Trump faces ongoing civil lawsuits, his return to power threatens pardons for convicted rioters and continued revisionism about the attack.

Despite public disapproval of Trump’s actions, he successfully leveraged misinformation to regain the presidency.

    DNC tried to get away with as much as shenanigans as they possible could while simultaneously calling this the most important election of our lifetimes. They get a massive share of the blame as well. Biden/Harris’s policy choices, when they made any at all, were awful.

      I’m also very disappointed in the so-called accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration, but I firmly believe the DNC’s complete unwillingness to run a primary without thumbing the scale is the main reason for how awful the last 12 years have been. If they could just run a normal goddamn primary without the bullshit we may be able to unify behind the nominee a little easier.
