I would be much more impressed if they pulled the trigger on this shit and forced a crisis and a ruling. like, you can't prosecute a sitting president, but we're like 50 days out or whatever. freeze some assets, detain some people, revoke some passports.
I know libs are a joke and will bend over backwards to protect the norms that the fash will ignore when they take the helm, but all they earn is contempt with moves like this.
it would be funny if Trump came in and went after them all for treason or some crazy shit and appointed like Alex Jones or MTG as the high inQuisitor.
Alex Jones is sitting at his desk in a livestream. "Trump has appointed me High inQuisitor. The first thing I'm gonna do with my powers is start an investigation into the demoncrats and their spawn the reptilians who did Sandy Hook, killed kids, and made me look bad. Trumps gonna stop them. And I'm gonna help him do it."
There's a container on his desk and he pats the top of it. "Support the president and me by doing your part. You gotta buy this - the Official Licensed Alex Jones High InQ Protein Drinks. Every sip makes you stronger and healthier and defeats the power of evil..."
clearly the civil, respectable, mature response to a fascist winning an election and becoming an existential threat to all that is good in the world is to drop charges
It's been nearly an entire decade of libs "ah well nevertheless"ing their way from attempted Trump sinking to attempted Trump sinking, whether through some Mueller shit, the Steele dossier, Russiagate, this NY case. Literally nonstop for ten fucking years
Does he deserve to see a cell? Absolutely
But it does look like a fucking witchhunt at times
Trump has already threatened his family. It's a privilege to fight for your ideals when you get to stay anonymous and not have your loved ones directly targeted by powerful people, you don't have to face the same kind of consequences. I can't really blame him for not wanting his wife and kids in immediate danger.
I can. Don't take on the gig of prosecuting a powerful politician who might become president if you aren't in a position where you're comfortable with having you and yours threatened. It's like the cop excuse of being in a "stressful situation". Don't take the job then!
At least there will be pushback from average libs maybe, if Copmala won she would do the same things but we would be scolded for not "trusting the process" if we pointed it out.
Have you seen fresh threads on lemmy.ml? They manage to be even more disgusting then before election. A tiny little less smug though, turned out they spew all this shit while being absolutely convinced they would won lol.
