    What they should do about it is use it to win and keep Trump out of the White House. If they turn it into a criminal law issue it’ll confuse the matter and turn what should be an argument about right vs. wrong into legal vs. illegal. There exists a realm of behavior, quite a large realm in fact, of things that are deplorable but not illegal. Such as waving an ISIS flag, or walking around in a Hitler moustache and armband. That’s where Trump’s behavior fits.

    they literally already tried to impeach him, twice over this. None of them worked because of republicans lmao.

      Yes, which is why it’s bad to go where Republicans (legislators or judges) have all the power. Go to the media, hollywood, whatever. Why isn’t there a movie about the first Trump administration’s crimes yet? Go straight to the people.

        the federal government was a complete mess after the end of trumps term. The supreme court is pushing out unconstitutional rulings that don’t even make sense for it to preside over. The congress is so mind fucked that it can’t even fix basic problems like immigration without impaling itself over it’s own knife. Courts are delaying rulings for no reason other than to push it beyond the election, these courts are also fraught with judges who should be barred (aileen cannon) republican figures themselves are literally lying about shit live on television to garner support for things that don’t exist. Springfield ohio is a terrible place to be right now. People who worked at dominion received constant death threats after fox news ran the dominion story, then got sued and settled for “defamation” as a fucking news company, do you realize how bad you have to fuck up to settle a defamation case immediately? AS A FUCKING NEWS BROADCASTER. Every politician that has ever slighted trump has had their career ruined, except for democrats, republicans really love to eat their own for some reason. I can keep going if you would like.

        Trump barely managed to push any legislation through the government, he kneecapped basically every cabinet and group within the government (including the pandemic response one)

        Regardless the rest of your comment is a diversion.

        Why isn’t there a movie about the first Trump administration’s crimes yet?

        there is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1NUXFfcoDs

        and an accompanying two hour retrospective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPIedGtAJfw

        there is another creator who has done something similar as well. https://youtu.be/gdstZDCCgAc

        (relevant to the first two links) i can upload the entire stream on archive.org and post a link here if you would like, i have it archived myself.

        and this is just jan 6th, if you were to compile EVERY thing that trump did throughout his admin, it would probably be hundreds of hours long. Not to mention the only reason why you seem to think a movie would be a good format for this, is because that’s how republicans are pushing modern propaganda these days.
