Fascists start by taking over elections, police/military, media and courts.
If you have those, it doesn't matter if people have guns.

Take a look at that picture again
The books don't care what's happening. The real danger is the five stormtroopers showing:
1) they can do as they please and
2) what kind of ideas will get you in trouble
That's why fascists proudly show these displays of power.

Also why accountability is soooo critical - early, consistently and powerfully.
Stunning Merrick Garland does not seem to grasp that.

There are lots of other crimes that Trump gets a free pass on.
Top of my list, the DOJ got the conviction of Michael Cohen in 2018 for a crime which the pleading said was "at the direction and for the benefit of Individual 1 (Trump)".
If there was enough to indict Cohen, there should be enough to indict Trump.
@TCatInReality @PDFlynn
A pass or a lack of sufficient evidence to secure a conviction?
Unless we're in the room with DOJ, and we're not, we don't know which.
We shall see about the hush payment as the Manhattan DA is running the evidence by a grand jury now.
Former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who quit the Manhattan DAโs office last year in a huff over how the newly elected District Attorney Alvin Bragg was conducting the Trump criminal investigation, has written a tell-all book. A timeline will lay out the progress of the investigation and offer a context for the Pomerantz-Bragg saga: August 2019: โฆ The Manhattan Trump Criminal Investigation: The Saga of Mark Pomerantz & Alvin Bragg Read More ยป
