Welcome to the Peoples Republik of Amerika. Filthy bastards.
In less civilized tyrannies, they take the ex-president’s supporters out back and shoot them. Maybe throw their families in prison.
In the civilized American republic, the ex-president’s supporters and their families are first financially ruined, then publicly humiliated, and then sent to prison.
It is still tyranny, and yet it sends the same unmistakable message to political opponents.
Lawfare in a nation of laws is republican death.
