I mean, fuck Trump, he’s obviously authoritarian… but Democrats are literally currently financing and arming a genocide.
Also, if they cared about justice, why do they keep letting Merrick Garland drag his fucking heels, dithering and waffling around because he doesn’t want to appear political… all while he looks political by not putting the screws to criminal enterprise and treating Trump with kid gloves?

To be fair, that genocide has been funded by every politician before them on both sides for generations. Israel has been sacred in America, since WW2 and then AIPAC. That doesn’t make it right, but that’s why, and it’s not going to change in one election.
Also, I’m not sure that Garland doesn’t want to appear political as much as they want the process to appear fair. This isn’t a witch hunt, they need to follow the facts and have a solid case that they can win in a court system that was made highly biased by the very person they are prosecuting. They need to win.

It kind of feels really pathetic that if we don’t win “taking the high road” in a corrupt system that is biased and unfair to begin with, that we have to let fascism just win?
Our supreme court has been long hijacked and corrupted, and if we don’t take as long as humanly possible with the court cases, giving Trump every opportunity a normal citizen would not receive, up to and including taking so long that he could win the election, take control of the DOJ, pardon himself and his co-conspirators, and then begin his vision of revenge on everyone who wronged him… we’d be letting them win because we didn’t take long enough to prove in their sham courts that they were criminals?
Make it make fucking sense, man. You’re arguing for rolling over for fascists to appear apolitical and get a “rock solid” case, it’s a joke.
Trump shouldn’t be on any fucking ballots he should be in jail for some of the highest crimes you can commit against the American government. It’s not even a question. Stop defending this worthless shit.

So your idea is to just abandon the court system and have him be locked in Gitmo or something? And that’s not fascism?
You’re just mad because you think you could do it better, but instead you’re nothing. Run for office, or get a law degree and become AG yourself, otherwise try and trust the parts of the system that are left standing.
