(12,668 posts)They want Trump in irons paraded across the TV for them to mock. They don't care if the case is thrown out, or if a jury finds him innocent, they want that warm feeling of him (and Gaetz, and Jordan, and Guiliani, and Bannon etc) getting perp-walked. What happens after that doesn't matter. They KNOW that he's a traitor so he should hang. Nevermind the pesky Constitution that guarantees him a fair trial of his peers.
And you know damn well that they will blame Garland, the DOJ and Biden if Trump is arrested, tried and walks. Ignoring the fact that they will blame Garland, the DOJ and Biden if Trump appeals everything to the Supreme Court and it gets tossed. Because it will somehow be Biden's fault that SCOTUS is entrenched Conservative.
Trump has unleashed the latent authoritarians on both sides of the aisle.
