(96,950 posts)and, it would appear (by virtue of the thinking that such - jail - will never happen), tolerated.
So, really, any protest of a criminal president is an exercise in futility, since no matter what is said or done, there will always be criminal presidents in America's future.
I suppose I can see why jailing the street dealer for 50 years protects and defends our democracy while imprisoning a president that commits war crimes (or steals an election or uses foreign influence to control an election) would only damage our democracy. (Yes, that was sarcasm)
Oh, I get the fear that if one president goes to prison for actually committing crimes, then some Republican in Congress will try to do the same to another president for essentially non-crimes. It becomes about payback instead of the good of the country.
What a healthy democracy America has!
Where a necessary tool needed that really would help to protect and defend our democracy is considered an incredibly fearful prospect.
Nothing warped about that at all.
I suppose the ballot box is our only remedy - damn shame we can't even protect that. Yes, a mighty healthy democracy we have in America.
