that the decent people in power will allow themselves to be intimidated by Trump's calls for "protests"---read violent insurrections---if he is prosecuted and decide that "for the good of the country" we must "look forward" and "move on" WITHOUT prosecuting the orange bag o' pus.
Trump MUST be prosecuted and any violent repeat of the January 6th tactics---or worse---should be met with whatever it takes to confine and arrest the Trump thugs involved---every damn one of them. We should not just "tread on" these traitorous criminals; we should STOMP on them.
I am concerned that those who will be called upon to deal with the situations Trump has called for if we DARE prosecute him will not recognize the "protestors" as Trump's militias; his "army"; his "brownshirts".
In my view and, I believe, in the view of many, allowing Trump to go free, unprosecuted, will effectively end the two and a half centuries of our "democratic experiment" and my generation will have failed its children and grandchildren.
