Trust me, your life will be fine no matter what happens to Trump.
I'm sure maga still enjoy their friends and families today. They'll still have fun at whatever plans they've made for this weekend or summer vacation. They'll still get to celebrate the births of any loved ones, etc etc
That will all happen no matter what happens to Trump. Now if whatever happens to Trump ruins any of those things, then those people need to rethink their lives.
As for there being two sets of Justice. Every minority, including women, would like to welcome those t thinking that now to the party.
The problem with your line of thinking is that you're only looking at this through the lens of Trump. This is bigger than Trump. The hypocrisy and overreach by the government with this should make anyone uncomfortable.
To compare what's happening now to the reaction of freeing the slaves, legalizing birth control, gay marriage, women's right to vote is one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. In each of those instances, it was the government easing control of its citizens. In today's America, the government is looking to grow control over its citizens...and using what should be an impartial law enforcement system to do it.
So furthering an impartial justice system should be brushed off as 'no big deal' because it happened to women and minorities in the past? That's a terrible way to look at it, and an easy way to give the hard-left leaders in our country the green light to keep doing it more.
You make good points. I agree that the government is overreaching. They always do, always have, and always will.
I guess the thing to me is that how much of the anger right now by Trump's supporters would be there if Trump had a D by his name? And vice versa for those on the left.
Because the fact is, so long as people support or excuse things solely by who is on "their side", things like this will continue and the country will continue to become even worse because of it. Both sides need to do better and both need to be held accountable not just by the other side but their own.
As for Trump, even if Trump did what they are saying he did, I don't see him doing it for any reason other than him being his usual "in gonna do it because I want to and you can't stop me" mentality. Nothing more, nothing less, and nothing nefarious.
The problem is, that i do think Trump thumbed his nose more than he should've at people and agencies who he didn't think would be part of the "find out" part of the saying, and here he is.
There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance. Hippocrates
