Smith warned of potentially “catastrophic” threats to democracy when asked about the failure to hold Trump accountable for trying to overturn an election.
“If we do not hold the most powerful people in our society to the same standards of the rule of law, then it can be catastrophic,” Smith said. “Because if they don’t have to follow the law, it’s very easy to understand why people would think they don’t have to follow the law as well.”
Smith continued, “it sends a message that those crimes are okay, that our society accepts that… it can endanger our election process, it can endanger election workers, and ultimately our democracy.”

And when the "big bosses" join the Lying Mad King at his inauguration and his Gatsby Party does that not also send a message that all the lying and corruption are okay? How guilty are they of lying and corruption in their own "business" activities?
