MAGA's warlord scheme should shock the hell out of you

23. There was about a month

after the failed coup attempt when Trump's approval among Republicans dropped by half. Corporations said that they would not donate to any politician who supported the coup.

I think that during this window a vigorous prosecution would have yielded results.

But that old fool Merrick convinced the powers that be that the rule of law was strong in the US and that the guilty would be punished. For a while Republicans politicians and voters were fearful, Democratic politicians and voters were confident. Many of the criminal rabble were put away, but very few of the higher ups. Within a month the Republican voters sensed that Trump would not be held accountable and his approval returned to what it had been before his failed coup attempt. But most of the elite in the Democratic party kept their faith in the rule of law. Their faith was strong, never having personally experienced the law from the perspective of a poor person.

In the end the law is only as strong as those enforcing the law.
