I was trying to come up with a hamfisted analogy and clearly missed the mark.

I’m pretty sure Bernie has actually been arrested at civil rights protest, so that’s probably a better example. I actually think that makes him more qualified to be president.

Presumably trump enthusiasts feel similarly about his mounting list of felonies. I think that should immediately disqualify him from being considered as a candidate, but a lot of people obviously don’t and I have to assume that’s because they believe in authoritarian psuedo-dictatorship in the same way I believe in civil rights.
