    No he’s doing it to enrich himself. The people who vote for him are doing it to own the libs, at the expense of their own financial stability and future.

      And to stay out of prison, don’t forget that. If he hadn’t stolen the election, he’d be in prison right now, with more time on the way.

        One of many t things I don’t get about his groupies. They have four years to exploit the country where they are effectively above the law, but how can they not expect justice after that? They should all be considering whether they’re going to prison in five years

        The wheel of justice eventually coming around is my only hope. And I live for the day that Trump legacy comes crashing down upon them

          First of all, they ALL believe fervently that they will rule forever, no matter what it takes, up to and including literally killing Democrats, of it has to come to that.

          Secondly, they believe, and rightfully so, based on history, that the Democrats will do absolutely nothing to punish them in any substantial way.

          IF the Dems ever regain power, it will only be because an extremely intelligent candidate stepped up who is willing to go toe-to-toe, and play Hard Ball with the MAGA Nazis. If that person gets elected, and continues with the classic Democratic bluff strategy, (with EVERYBODY knowing their cards) then MAGAs, or something far worse, will regain power in the NEXT election, and then we’re probably totally finished as a democracy.

          The next Dem prez better come out kicking MAGA balls, or we’re screwed forever.

            Even if the democrats come back into power, they’ll be too wussy to punish the genocidal maniacs who were in power before them

            Politics has always pendulums back and forth. We may have swung way out in one direction but I still have hope it will swing back again, we will have elections again, people will want hope and change, want to add truth to the meaningless platitudes they made the mistake of voting for.

            If we return to democracy, return to the rule of law, justice can happen

              Sure, if that all happens, but it won’t. We’re in a new world now. Rachel Maddow said it the other night: We’re no longer waiting for IT to come, it’s here. All the things we were warning against during the campaign have now arrived, and will continue to arrive. We are no longer warning about the danger of a Fascist Government, we now have that Fascist Government.

              So your confidence in fair elections, or even having elections at all, is misplaced.

              Totally. It’ll happen in like 50 years. Many of us will be dead by then, including those in power rn.
