A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Pretty sure the person you’re talking about is Trump, in which case he’s facing almost triple-digit felonies, so how exactly are people not OK with imprisoning him?
I’m not seeing the “inability of good” here.
Well it’s taking a long-ass time to get him behind bars, plus, he’ll still be able to run for president from prison.
Remember: It’s been almost forty months since a literal insurrection attempt and literal sedition where people died.
The inability of good has already happened: He’s had years of working with Republicans to plan the next attempt.
Even the FBI has openly admitted investigations were hamstrung.
Hamstrung and yet here he is with 90+ indictments.
The federal government generally prosecutes high-value cases slowly, so they make sure they have a case they can win.
You not seeing things happening doesn’t mean things aren’t happening. The system is in motion and once begun it doesn’t stop.
Hitler got arrested within 3 days of his coup attempt, and got a trial in 4 months time. He was in jail five months after his coup attempt.
He was pardoned by his friends after spending just a year in jail.
Getting Trump in jail is not the end of this story, it doesn’t fix everything. It would be a first step, and the US is still not there.
These are wildly different situations and Trump is no Hitler
Keep making excuses for people failing to execute on the promises of equality and justice.
It really goes to show how much you believe in America’s “all men are created equal” to just shrug your shoulders at a literal traitor having years of freedom.
TIL the government “failing to execute” is when you have 91 felony charges
Four years later. Four years. Four years.
Do normal people get FOUR YEARS of mouthing off and planning future crimes after they assault the government?
Some of the people who actively participated in j6 are still facing trial, so… yes.
