He's hardly the first rich American to escape justice if he continues to do so. Rich folk in America have literally gotten away with murder. (OJ for one)
If Trump was martyred half the MAGAs would insist he's alive and another half will insist he's going to come back some day. The former will point to AI deepfakes created by Russia as proof, and will declare a holy war on the other half. Eventually the problem will solve itself.
That's the important thing to note here. They are not trying to get the job done, they are trying to ensure that nobody can get the job done, the one thing morons excel at.
OC was suggesting relying on MAGA to split into a civil war and exterminate themselves… you just laid out the argument for why they won't manage to do that.
I could care less if the morons see him as a martyr and rise the fuck up. Fucking let them. At this point I'd rather they get gunned down in a blaze of glory than let them silently breed and plan the next fucking coup. Fuck Trump supporters and any who sympathize.
But it does matter. Maybe not to you directly, but the January 6th treason attack was a direct result of his influence. Obviously people who follow him are massive bell ends, but they still matter and they still vote. America's democracy is far from perfect, and has definitely struggled to cope over the past few years, but it put him in the most powerful position in the world for four years and despite all the evidence, enough people are still supporting him that a second term still can't be ruled out.
It beggars belief, it really does, but you really should care about it and a single person being a martyr has historically changed the world.
Those fines are insultingly small. But putting him in jail would only make him more of a martyr. The law is still struggling to cope with this man.
And…just do it. They are setting a message that if rich = immune to punishment.
Sadly, all this is doing is acknowledging the truth we already knew.
Tbf that’s been the message my whole life.

He makes a terrible martyr, though.
He just won’t shut up! Martyrs are supposed to be dead. You ever hear a dead guy blabber?

Eh. You given them more credit.
Pretty sure they’re not competent enough to get the job done,

I either read this incorrectly or read something else and replied to the wrong thread, you right.
