[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it was very calculated that the “boring” state tax fraud case was the one that Trump was indicted for. He’s been indicted for actions he took as a private citizen - not a president and not a former president. Biden’s DOJ is not involved at all. A grand jury in the state of New York decided to indict based on the evidence before them.

This is an action state grand juries across the country take on a regular routine basis.

If anything, this signals the strength of our democracy and the rule of law. [/quote]

I don’t believe this to be true. I think, unfortunately, this was the reverse of democracy, i.e. give me the man, and I’ll find you the crime. It’s not surprising to me at all, given this DA has let a lot of violent criminals essentially free to hurt others again. [/quote]

Love the MAGA talking points here re: the DA. But what are you going to do when the evidence shows he committed the crimes beyond a reasonable doubt? No one made up these crimes to play a game of gotcha with Trump. TWO people have been convicted of crimes related to this. Neither had as much to benefit as Trump himself. [/quote]

The problem is that a decent percentage of the country (I'd guess 20%) have so thoroughly identified themselves with Trump that they're totally unable to separate him being held accountable for his crimes with a direct attack on them personally. Look at how they talk about it " they are not after Trump as much as they are after all of us" "if they can come for Trump, they will come for you." You can't reason with that.[/quote]

I find that part fascinating. Like how does a politician end up being so intertwined with your own identity that you simply cannot accept any negative information about that politician, because it feels like accepting negative information about yourself? Have we had other politicians or famous people  in this country (besides cult leaders) who have been able to do this to people? I know it’s not everyone who voted for and supports Trump. Plenty wil say they don’t like the guy but they still vote for him. But that percentage that sees this as an attack on them, the kind that say “we are MAGA”… just fascinating.[/quote]
