This is not a meme, and not really an accurate comparison to Nazi Germany, where the regime actually paid a lot of attention to changing the laws so that the atrocities they committed actually were legal.

Trump is proving once and for all that so long as he doesn’t get punished for it, everything he does is legal.

Not what “legal” means, is it.

Well it kinda is. If something is illegal but you can’t be punished for it, what does it mean really?
FishFace@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
It means society has agreed officially that it should be punished, and you’re getting away with it.
You’re talking about the direct, practical implications, and sure, there it’s no different. But there’s more to life than that.
