Trump should have been behind bars since the afternoon of Jan 6.

He should have been impeached immediately, and arrested and indicted for inciting an insurrection.

And every Republican in Congress should have been 100 percent on board with that.

But... If we set aside for a moment that they are a party of traitors, that still doesn't explain why Merrick Garland wasn't putting the cuffs on Trump the day he was sworn in as the new AG.

IT'S ABSOLUTE MADNESS THAT TRUMP IS ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND FREE. In our entire history, we've never come closer to losing our democracy. Including the civil war.

Something I take heart in is the fact that Hitler, before World War 2, was considered controversial as well. A lot of people thought it was improper to mock or criticize a world leader, and that he had good reasons for doing what he wanted to do, and that America shouldn't be involved in foreign conflicts, and so on.

Of course, the judgment of history is (properly) that he is a racist, xenophobic, warmongering madman and we stopped him too late if anything.

I feel pretty confident Trump is gonna wind up remembered the same way.

I'm going to need a source for "the most stable democracy in the world" part

Well said.

Wait, y'all really think you were "the most stable democracy in the world" at any point in history?

You had a civil war.

I hate it.

I hate how every single web leads back to Reagan. Dude had incredible charisma and destroyed so many things.
