(16,632 posts)I think somewhere (at least on the backburner) there should be a plan to never again allow a guy like this to do this - that is maybe more a bipartisan (the least corrupt conservatives remaining along with the leftish) legal scholar project. A lot of both Trump terms have shown the learned helplessness resulting from the constant shock of asking Wait, can he/they do that? Arent there any checks against this?
Something I have parallely had personal experience with from the forces behind Trump throughout - the tech giants. They arent the brightest guys for all their arrogance. And therefore perhaps it was more subconscious earlier, but by now it is conscious support. They were never truly liberal - I am very familiar with their skin deep liberalism.
This does sound like a good plan. And maybe be savvy about which crimes to focus on. Even after all these years, I find the American or (more broadly even human) zeitgeist confusing. But some people in politics are good at it..
I personally think corruption, incompetence and hypocrisy have universal appeal
