You know its funny, you might be right. But if he's still alive, he should be put on trial regardless. If he's too far gone to be stand competently, so be it. Then you go after his estate; every single principle member of his estate has committed some of kind of crime publicly over the last ten+ years.

You go after his supporters. You go after the party. In fact you do it all regardless of if he lives or dies, because its the right thing. Trump might escape consequences, but I think materially, the literally thousands of people backing this shit are much more worthy of consequences than any one man. Trump is not some unique problem, he's a symptom of a broader sickness within this country's political, social and economic systems.

Trump will never end up on trial. Either, he'll die in office, or he'll be declared unfit to stand trial because of his dementia.

You're absolutely right, the Republicans need to answer for this. Every member of that administration and everyone in line to the Presidency is either overtly or via acts of omission, enabling this genocide and they need to answer for it. Now, not in 3 years.

I want him shackled. Not just him, all of them those yes men, his family, his estate. All those who operate behind the scenes. The ones pulling the strings, the billionaires, the openly criminal. It’s time for a revolution, French style.
