You people care more about some dumb ex-President then actually talking about serious issues happening in this country and it's going to cost us the election next year
You mean the guy who is still the expected Republican nominee for 2024, and at whose urging stochastic terrorism is on the rise, but who has yet to see any consequences for his actions nor any legal consequences that would bar him from holding office? That dumb ex-President?
You should pay your autocorrect better ;-)

I don't think I get your point.
People can care about more than one thing at a time, you know.
Trump is merely the latest Republican president to be caught cheating, though he did it in a spectacularly stupid and egregiously public way.
We didn't pursue charges the last two times this happened, and look where that got us.
So it's pretty weird that you don't care to hold the man who is responsible for the first non-peaceful transition in the history of the presidency accountable for his attempt to deprive us of our right to select the people who represent us.
Yep, even if it were a either/or (it's not) I'd rather justice be served than political expedience.
If doing the right thing and holding Trump accountable for his crimes costs us the election, fine. I'd rather be remembered by history as the generation that tried to do the right thing and failed.
The dumb ex-President will be running for reelection next year, so unfortunately we have to care about him
I hope he runs to take votes away from DeSantis.
Are you familiar with primary elections?
Yes, and I'd prefer if someone other than Trump or DeSantis be the Republican nominee.
.... implying that some dumb ex-president attempting a self coup to prevent the lawful transfer of power isn't a serious issue.
If you think trump isn’t still relevant in the political landscape then you don’t understand how anything works man.
Just the current republican front runner. The republican party of criminals, white supremacists and traitors needs to be reminded that nobody is above the law.
A serious issue happening in this country is that a president called up the secretary of state in Georgia and asked them to find more votes.
