Turns Out Appeasing Trump Only Emboldened Him

Having evaded accountability when he was out of power, he’s running amok today.

The American Prospect

"Mark d Iglesia: “43% of world’s freest countries hv seen their Pres or PMs charged w crimes since 2000” incl #France & #Germany. A lot of these were #corruption cases quite similar to #Trump’s #conviction, & we hvn’t seen any of them fall to dictatorship.. to Marquis de Lafayette, G Washington wrote he joined Constitutional Convent'n in part to prevent a #government “dictated perhaps by some aspiring demagogue who won't consult te interest of his Country so much as his own ambitious views.”
3/3
"Trump is obviously a product of #America’s #decadent #culture of #elite #impunity.. it didn’t start w Garland & #Biden. It was #Obama who refused to #prosecute any of te #Bush-era #torturers, say'g he wanted to “look forward,” who failed to prosecute any of te senior #WallStreet execs' epic spree of #crimes b4, during, & after 2008 crash, & who sat on te news about #Russian #hacking in 2016.. A #democracy must be willing to defend itself from the enemies of freedom if it is to #survive" 📯🧐
