Republicans want Hunter Biden's trial to distract from Trump's crimes -- but, so far, it's backfiring

7. If anything, both these trials confirm the negative opinions of many young people.

I suspect that for many progressive and independent young people, both the Trump trial and now the Hunter Biden trial confirm their opinion that American politics and the justice system are stuck in the past, focused on things that don't matter.

Ironically, trying Hunter Biden immediately after Trump sort of nullifies the right-wing complaints about trying Trump. If it's ok to haul Hunter into court for being a drug addict, then why not try Trump for paying off a porn star? Most young people will think both trials were stupid, but where does it leave the grouchy old white right wingers? Not much there.

I don't agree that trying Trump was a mistake - I'm glad he finally faced some legal justice - but I'm thinking about this from the point of view of young voters.

I'm rooting for Hunter Biden. He's overcome severe drug addiction and I hope he stays sober. I don't give a damn about the gun purchase and I guarantee nobody else does either. (I thought Republicans were opposed to gun control, anyway.)
