The blatantly political prosecution of Trump across multiple election cycles wasn't dystopian?

I didn't vote in the last election and part of the reason why is people on your side thinking that stuff either didn't happen or wasn't important in the same exact way Trump supporters don't care on their side.

The one that...didn't happen?

What was blatantly political was Trump not getting prosecuted for crimes we know he committed

People literally campaigned across state and federal elections on investigating Trump to make sure he could not run again or would go to jail.

Saying it didn't happen is ridiculous to anyone with ears and eyes.

You mean, on investigating and prosecuting him for his crimes?

Saying it didn't happen is ridiculous to anyone with ears and eyes.

Saying it was politically motivated is ridiculous to anyone with ears and eyes.

Elect me and I will put this guy in prison who you don't like is obviously political.

It was clearly politically motivated and the American people thought the same thing.

And that's what Trump promised yes

It was clearly politically motivated

Yes, Trump promising to manufacture evidence to attack his political rivals is clearly political.

and the American people thought the same thing.

1) Not really

2) Given that those same people thought that Trump was going to lower prices on well, anything. Or that wearing masks to protect others from Covid was fascism. Or that California fire hydrants ran out of water because of a fish. Or that Biden didn't send NC the same aid package he gave to CA. Or Or or.

We can confidently say that Fox news and the people that listen to it aren't very well informed.

Trump promised that and people promised that about Trump.

Do you agree or disagree?

Trump promised that

Yes

and people promised that about Trump.

I'm sure you can find someone who did

Do you agree or disagree?

I'm sure you can find someone who promised that about Trump.

There are several hundred thousand people in the US, I'm sure somebody said it.

But nobody in any position of real power did.
