Binged the first season lastnight. I felt rage and disgust after watching the first episode Other

I can totally see something similar to this happening in the USA and even worldwide due to "declining population."

Look at how many people voted for Trump. This country is filled with terrible people.

I don’t think they are terrible. They are tired. Disgusted. Fed up,easily swayed by a man acting like he’s one of them, when he isn’t. They don’t want to hear or see cold hard facts. Trump is excellent at playing the victim and these ppl feel like victims. We are taught to work hard and you will be ok. Totally not true. People say get a better job. Well someone has to do the shitty jobs, just how it is.

I am not pro Trump but I kind of get it at times. No I don’t think he’s the right guy. He is not doing anything to help anyone except himself. But he’s convinced them he is. They can’t see past that. He will come for them too, his own supporters, the non rich ones. He needs a vote, after that no use for any of them. This time will be worse bc it’s his last chance. He will go scorched earth if he wins bc he won’t ever run again, bc of term limits. (Doesn’t mean he won’t try to run again tho.)

Let’s see if the SCOTUS hands him a huge win today . I will literally be sick if they do, as they run off on their 2 month paid break.

Imo, 3 sets of law and justice . One for the regular people of the country. Low class, middle class. Second is for the wealthy folks, celebs, or simply very rich ppl. Last is political people, like Trump. They usually are wealthy too but I still see a special justice system just for them.

Our justice system is NOT unilateral. It all depends on who you are and how much power and money you have.

This. He's a great conman, and his follows have been conned. They just don't know it yet.

He's in it for himself, and this time, he desperately needs to win to evade justice and pardon himself. As of now, he should be found guilty in his upcoming trials.

Mar-A-Lago Classified Documents

2020 Georgia Election Fraud

2020 Federal Election Fraud

Let’s see if the SCOTUS hands him a huge win today . I will literally be sick if they do, as they run off on their 2 month paid break.

If this happens, it will be a sad day for our country. No one is above the law. If a president is granted absolute immunity our country won't have a president anymore. We'll be ruled be unchecked dictators.

The fact the SCOTUS deliberately delayed this ruling to help Trump punt his trials down the road until after the election is destructive of our democratic process. They've been bought and are corrupt, but there's nothing we can do about.

Project 25 and The Heritage Foundation have won when it comes to stacking fsr-right justices and judges across the nation.

If he becomes president before his trials he'll try to pardon himself of all crimes eventhough self-pardons are or at least should be unconstututional. I'm sure he'll try to spin his way around it. That's truly frightening and pretty much the end of democracy.

What pisses me off even more is that all the Justices were asked the question and they each answered "No man is above the law," "No president is above the law." Yet, here we are.
