This time, voter apathy saved Trump from prison.
Hope everyone who stayed home is proud of themselves.

Hahahahaha, right.
Can't do that, and he goes to jail.
Blaming voters for institutional and party failures is a losing strategy.
Then again, centrist Dems were always partly complicit.
Hollow victory but at this point...but...
The only way Trump can overturn this conviction is first through the NY Appellate courts, and if he loses, then up to SCOTUS.
Or if NY gets a Republican governor in the future, they could pardon his crimes.
It's the folks who were annoyed at Biden that I'm furious with.
Your apathy helped make this possible.
I truly hope guilt eats you alive.
People are going to DIE because of your bullshit.
FAFO
Good Fella's threatening.

A lot of people believe his lies. That’s what happened here and it’s scary.
For he's a smelly gross Fe-lon

Justice denied.
Could have sentenced him to home confinement upon leaving office. Fined him for the estimated amount he cheated the system for. Made to wear a scarlet letter throughout his presidency. Forced to attend group therapy once a month.
If anything, his election win should be voided today.
I thought he might be
People who made a living for the last half decade by pumping hopium(as @capnrickysully.bsky.social pointed out as obvious gaslighting) to the unsophisticated media dem voterbase.
Though, I had heard people disparaging “resist” accounts here, I didn’t know exactly what they were talking about until I realized oh, it’s this kind of account.
Not trying to break out my tinfoil hat, but it feels very off how they all pushed the same line this whole time trying to convince everyone not to believe what they're witnessing with their own eyes.
Fox News for suburban Democrats.
He's not president yet.
Boris Johnson was fined whilst he was British prime minister.
An unconditional discharge? What was the point?
Although I guess I didn't even think they'd bother sentencing him.
He has officially broken the second box.
The rich and powerful do pretty much whatever they want.
This is how you make Apathy a bigger problem.
Back then few people of courage as well, probably actually more than today.
Thats it, thats the post.

Your account is the only account my husband wants to hear. Literally- I read it to him 😝 he’s not on social media.
I’d love to understand how to undo that poisoning of rationality.
Go FUCK yourselves.
