People really need to realize, Trump is insane. He has never heard anyone tell him he was wrong, or not good enough, or not smart enough, or it was his fault. Now as a "grown man" he believes he can do no wrong. He was buddies with North Korea and Russia because he wants to know how they maintain their power and grip over this countries.
I'm scared to death that not enough peole are taking seriously that he could win again. I hope at least 1 felony will be set as guilty for him, and disqualify him, but then you've got the rest of the herd of nut-jobs that follow him right behind him.
A felony wouldn’t disqualify him.
It actually would be really fucked up if it could as most minorities wouldn't be able to hold elected office, and those felonies are often extremely arbitrary ones put in place by racist jurisdictions with the explicit purpose of denying minorities their right to vote.
The fact that you can lose respect for any of your constitutional rights as a consequence of a court proceeding should terrify everyone.
There are better ways to deal with fascists.
you really think that most minorities are felons?
No, the system makes them that way by design. The system disproportionately convicts minorities with the express purpose of denying them their right to vote. They're made felons to subjugate them.
You need to familiarize yourself with what the word "most" means.
So you think every minority that’s a felon is innocent?
I mean technically he could become president while in jail, and maybe pardon himself if it's for a federal offense.
