      I’m actually at this part here:

      • Trump has dodged or delayed every possible avenue for avoiding consequence and has a large amount of followers who support him so him not serving a sentence or being punished more harshly than a fine is just how the real world works unfortunately and everyone is going to have to accept and understand that we live alongside a large population who sees someone like Trump as deserving of being above the law. (Also, the logistics of detaining a former president with secret service in a state prison is a nightmare unlike anything we’ve dealt with, and the WORST we could expect is a house arrest but even then Trump could sue or appeal because he’s campaigning and can always say “I have the will of millions behind me” and he would be right. So maybe it’s time to stop focusing so hard on Trump and instead why millions of people support his freedom.)
