If the law has one standard for the rich and powerful and another for the rest of us, it will be hard for ordinary Americans to maintain their faith in democracy.
This is why we, the voters, need to react to blatant corruption and fascism by voting the offending party out of office. If the dems get a super majority, they can actually oust the corrupt politicians and judges, oust the Trump appointees still causing havoc.
That’s how our democracy is supposed to work. If there’s rot within, all parties are supposed to band together and cauterize the rot. But the Republicans are entirely taken over at this point, so voters need to rip them from their seats until we have enough dems (or aligned independents, though that’s not really plausible) to have a super majority so they actually have the authority to do what needs to be done.
Voting matters. Enough of this bullshit “both sides”. One side isn’t perfect, but the other side are literal fascists trying to establish a dictatorship.
Is it, though? The people who put our system in place seemed–through both words and actions–to believe democracy isn’t supposed to be an enduring system, but rather something that’s supposed to serve passably well until it’s inevitably corrupted and has to be overthrown. You know, “the tree of liberty” etc. etc.
