Since he can still run for office and become president while in prison, is this actually going to do anything to stop him from being president? Obviously it’s not gonna sway anyone who’s gonna vote for him, so is there any actual way this keeps him from office, or at least has some positive effect for us? I wanna join the celebration about this, but I don’t see any way it actually leads to a good outcome, just more deeply convince those for or against him that they’re right, maybe at best a few people on the fence about voting for Biden will be convinced by this. It just feels like theatrics, something to grab people’s attention that will never have any real effect on Trump or his campaign

    1. First timer. Won’t get jail time.
    2. Most people made their minds up one way or another a long time ago.
    3. It won’t change many voters’ minds, but on the other hand if the election’s tight as the polls seem to suggest, a few thousand votes here, and a few thousand who don’t vote at all, may actually determine the election result.

      There is a small part of me that wants him to win the election and also get jail time.

      Just the craziness of a president running the country in prison or under house arrest or something would be something for the history books.
