3. Jail is not the problem
Mon Dec 9, 2024, 07:04 AM
Dec 9

I bet Trump has been told time and again that he cannot jail his political opponents and he knows it.

Jail is not the point.

Trump’s DOJ can and likely will bring a raft of charges against people. This will require them to hire big-time DC attorneys and run up legal bills in the millions. The charges will be dropped or thrown out of court but, meanwhile, the targets of Trump’s hatred will be bankrupted and embarrassed.

The MAGAts will love it and Trump will sit back and watch his opponents go bankrupt.

There are other ways to punish your enemies than jail.

We are not dealing with normal people - neither Trump nor his associates nor the trash who voted for him are normal. There is in this country, always has been, always will be a powerful current of ignorance and hate and now they are in charge. Don’t believe me? Come on down to rural Virginia or rural Tennessee and live with the Baptists, high school graduates, and MAGAts.
