    Yeah, not sure what “liberals”, hell anyone on the left, would’ve been able to do to stop this fascism, besides voting, which posts like this seem hell bent on getting us to disagree with each other about.

      Let’s just pretend Biden didn’t have 2 years of near congressional control to prevent the fascist takeover I guess. Or at the very least impede its effect. Never forget Biden never shut down the whole kids in cages shit, or ended the border wall construction outright.

        What is “near congressional control”? That just sounds like a disingenuous way to say “didn’t have congressional control”.

            That’s not an answer to my question, but in any case you do still need a trial and conviction. Did you forget about the multiple trials he was facing that were only dropped because he was inaugurated?

                  They didn’t even start the process until two years in to the Biden administration. Biden sent the nation to Hell through the oldest liberal failing - seeking to compromise with Republicans. He appointed a Republican as his attorney general. Did you forget that? And then Garland proceeded to slow-walk the Trump prosecution. They only moved forward at all after the House investigatory committees forced their hand.

                    Are you familiar with the typical timeframes involved in high profile federal cases? Going fast is how you get cases thrown out for minor oversights.

      They could have EASILY put Trump in prison. There are SO MANY documented crimes he has committed. They actively chose not to because they are controlled opposition owned by the rich.
