It's hard to sit here and debate with angry people who think Trump is the only answer to everything, when much of what he stands for is wrong.

Once again, you demonstrate that you continue to miss the point.

I've posted the four steps to tyranny on this thread twice.

We're at #3 - Arresting Political Opponents.

Step #4 is we're next. Dissent of any type will not be tolerated.

President Trump is who they're going after to send a message to the rest of us. "Fall in line, or you're next." That's the message. The FedGov is weaponized against us.

How do you not understand that you're supporting tyranny via inaction?

If not now, when?

If not us, who?

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Shame on you.

No I see that perfectly clear. That's why I defended him so strongly while he was President, and was facing those outrageous impeachment attempts. You'll be hard pressed to find me criticizing Trump once while he was President, despite probably thousands of posts in support of him.

And I also agree that this appears to be another political witch hunt. I in no way support this prosecution, and have said that many times here lately. I was also outraged, at first, when they raided Mar-a-Lago. I believed it when Trump first said they had handed everything over, and his lawyers had even signed a declaration of that. Then, when it turned out he still had a lot of classified documents at home, and that's not allowed even for the President, much less a former one, he wanted to claim that he had magically unclassified everything by simply declaring to himself he was un-classifying it. That's not how the process works, nor should it.

I could go on, of course, but he's not some golden boy above reproach on a lot of these issues. Even this new one is involving illicit affairs with porn stars, and shady lawyers who have already gone to jail themselves. Does that make Trump 100% guilty? No, of course not. And I'll certainly vote for him if he's the nominee again. But it doesn't encourage me to go put my own life on the line for someone like him, by showing up some sort of poorly planned protest fiasco again, when his own lawyers say he probably even has the exact day wrong. Are you?
