Calling what he did "political advocacy" is a bit like calling what Jeffrey Dahmer did an "alternative diet"....
They're trying to insinuate that it was only just made illegal after the fact, like he didn't know that trying to commit election fraud was already a crime.
It's a roundabout way of acknowledging that it's considered uncouth to charge rich people with their crimes.
I swear they're about to take the Hitler defense. Just say, "yeah! We did it! We tried to overthrow the government! But only because we looooooove this country so much... And sure, sure, y'all say we're racist, but it's clear you don't understand just how racist we are. We are waaaaaay more racist than you can even conceive."
Then his idiot followers will talk about how he speaks the truth and says what's on his mind and he'll get locked up for, like, a year, during which time he'll pen his horrible instruction manual on how to destroy our country.
Mein Kovfefe?
Shit, you copyright that title right the fuck now.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
The least realistic part of this, sadly, is the idea that he can write for himself.
"Trump needs more crayons and toilet paper for his book!"
"Wow! He must have written 100 pages by now!"
"No... He just won't stop eating them..."
He could just get Epsteined when he's in there. That would be unfortunate and completely unforeseen.
I'd be surprised he is a liability to anyone in power but himself...
I'm pretty sure everyone in the federal government has had plenty of notice, since the US Constitution grants States the sole authority to operate elections.
I’m stealing this.
What? No one warned me that stealing was illegal!
