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.
The problem is, they already believe Obama should be in prison the rest of his life. They think Obama is a part of their “deep state” and because of this he cannot be touched even though they can never present evidence Obama did anything criminal. The reason they cant provide evidence? The “deep state.”
It’s a sickness they allow all to hide their prejudice.

I think they’re suggesting that Conservatives would want Obama thrown into an oubliette for life over just one of the crimes Trump has been indicted for, but believe Trump should get to walk. The hypocrisy is insane.
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.
I feel that if an average citizen gets 1 month, then a someone entrusted with state powers like police and politicians should get 2 months. They were given special powers then abused them. Jail, straight to jail!
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 Obama did what Trump did, then he would deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Goddamn this reads beautifully. Eloquently put!
That doesn’t make any sense, Obama never did anything like what Trump has done. It’s a false equivalence.
So obviously an innocent should go free and the guilty should not.
Seems to me the evidence that Trump is guilty is very strong.

Ah yes, that I absolutely agree on.
The outrage for having mustard on a sandwich and wearing a tan suit was insane, the corrupt republicans will do anything, ANYTHING!
It was dijon mustard.
Ah yes, IMO the only kind. ;)

Yep, that’s what they would say if it were a dem.

This isn’t “no stupid questions”.
Can’t really do sarcasm when there is a large section of people who believe “their group” deserves special treatment under the law.
That appears to be the case.
