I respect that theoretically but why anecdotally in this instance? Not being pedantic but just thinking that whatever empirical reasons can be espoused for not prosecuting a former president, and many are valid and should outlast trump, I think can be countered anecdotally for trump. The exception to prove the rule as it were.
If from here on out we recognize arguable parameters of contention between good faith presidential actors as reasonable, I think we have “won” as a country. It’s like back in hs when I went on college visits and hated the schools; yeah I might have hated them but it helped to determine what was right for me.
So if from 2022 to end of USA times we say or rule “damn he/she seems to have a point but they sure as fuck acting trumpy so they’re probably full of shit so they’re automatically wrong”, then I think 250k+ Dead from incompetent government, torture against children who are guilty for only looking brown like me, and strenuous ass testing of our republican ideals were (are? Sorry I’m drunk) well worth it.
