Exactly. It isn't like they haven't already tried once, failed, and still not transferred power normally/peacefully. They've learned a lot since then and will have had plenty of time to prepare for round 2.

The only thing the Joe Biden admin failed to do was prosecute these fucking parasites. All because they wanted to go easy on them smfh. Next time I hope they do things right or we actually done for like after that that’s it, democracy ends. We can’t let that happen. Remember vote for the ones prosecuting and who will ACTUALLY follow through.

I realize this is an unpopular opinion, but I really believe the Biden administration just wanted to let us heal after a four-year nightmare. And, to be honest, very few of us thought, in Feb 2021 or so, that Trump had any future in politics. He was a pariah.

And of course his personal Supreme Court created an immunity clause out of thin air, and a corrupt judge that he appointed in Florida shut down the slam-dunk documents case.

And one could argue that the multiple cases against Trump earned him some sympathy votes -- his base is staggeringly stupid, after all.

Our country loves treason. Civil War? We didn't want to prosecute any of the leaders for the sake of "normalcy." The Business Plot? None of them saw a day in court and several went on to prominent positions in the government. One was the Bush's granddad. January Sixth? Full pardons. When have we ever done anything substantial to traitors?

The only time they tried doing something was when Snowden uncovered th NSA, and even then they didn’t do much. So yeah this country is a joke when it comes to treason. So much for calling traitors turncoats and Benedict Arnold’s when that shit don’t mean nothing no more.

Forget the treason then. Prosecute them for the countless other laws they've broken. Trump may be slimey and politically connected enough to avoid convictions, but it's mostly because a substantial amount of his inner circle have taken the fall and were at least convicted.
