      Imagine this, What if it was… Obama instead of Trump?

      EDIT: I should have put /s. I don’t care about party affiliation. The comments after mine are right, lock up anyone who attemped a coup.

        If a political leader breaks the law they should be punished severely and to the full extent of the law. No matter which affiliation. This isn’t hard logic to understand. In fact, political leaders should face even harsher punishments given the power they are expected to be responsible for.

        If Obama did what Trump did, then he would deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison.

          But that’s what MAGA doesn’t get. If our political leaders break the law, then they should be punished according to it.

          They don’t believe that we really believe this. They just think we’re saying to appear superior to them. It’s easy to say that we believe in the rule of law but, for them, there’s no evidence that we will submit to the consequences of law enforcement when it doesn’t favor us. Except the evidence that Democrats live up to our ideals to some extent is that Al Franken stepped down in the midst of the #MeToo era after being accused of sexual assault. And also Obama wasn’t a seditious cry baby ass bitch like 45.

          In other words, MAGA beliefs only make sense in a decontexutalized vacuum where history doesn’t exist and evidence is superfluous to political expediency.
