Our country is being run by traitors and con men. We need Nuremberg style trials after they are out of power.

Edit: This is my first comment to blow up this hard. Thanks all for the awards!

The US are a joke. When it was about overthrowing a Democrat government with the benediction of Trump, a few thousand people almost succeeded. Now for a fascist government people are spineless.

Your president breaks laws every day without any check and balances. He betrays every alliance concluded with foreign countries when he's not being openly hostile towards them.

You had the Epstein files that in a normal democracy would have been enough to impeach your president. It never happened.

The orange turd will get away with it and all of his billionaires friends and family members too. Unless a real popular and democratic uprising happens justice will never be served.

The insurrection that occurred was to benefit Trump, and happened under his control. There was as a result very limited response until quite a while after the fact, which was then later pardoned. The federal government was more than capable of intervening and stopping it, both ahead of time and as it was happening, but they chose not to because it directly benefit (and was coordinated by) the active administration.

If the same thing happened against them, it would not go over anywhere close to the same way. Even with a neutral administration, that national guard would have been brought in immediately. Hell, intelligence agencies probably would have squashed it before it even happened. With a hostile administration that is both the target, and is clearly willing to break any and all rules, laws, and protocol to accomplish their ends, it would be much worse.

I guarantee if the events were replayed against them, there would be much more than just the local police there, and they would not be trying their hardest to avoid injuring or killing people. Quite the opposite I'm sure.

Sure, but even that was ultimately unsuccessful. Trump quietly left Washington with his tail between his legs. The idea that people have any real power in this country is a myth.
