Above the law.

Donald Trump is the perfect example of a person that thinks he is above the law. Even without a USSC decision, he felt he was immune from criminal prosecution and conviction.

He has spent his life evading prosecution due to his wealthy privilege. He does not play by the same rules that we all have to adhere to. If any of us committed the crimes that Trump has been found guilty of or is under indictment for, we'd be in prison for a long time.

Having different rules for Trump proves his privilege. Immunity is Trump's wealthy privilege.

Trump's promise to pardon those convicted of the J6 insurrection is another egregious example of his above the law mentality. To him, it's ok to break the law and commit felonies in the name of Trump. It's similar to the old south where they would stack juries to acquit klan members from their hate crimes. Above the law.

Voters do not like politicians who act like they are above the law. Voters do not like the wealthy using their wealth to evade prosectuion that would send the rest of us to prison.

I think Democrats have a real message here in the final month of the campaign. We need swing voters and undecided voters to turn out for Kamala and Democratic Party candidates down-ballot.

Above The Law Don vs the Prosecutor Kamala that locked up scumbags like Trump.

Kamala isn't above the law.

Trump is above the law and uses his wealthy privilege to carry it out.

Run on that!
Go Kamala/Tim 2024!!
