    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.

        Charging someone with an obvious crime is not illegal. Waiting two years in normal for feds, but there is nothing in the law saying they have to do it that way.

          Charging someone with a crime without an investigation IS illegal.

          It is not legal to lock up political opponents without an investigation. Also, it normalizes Trumps corrupt behavior.
