Trump has made a mockery of the system. In court Judge pleaded both parties to refrain from making statements that incite civil unrest & jeopardize the rule of law - this applies very specifically to Trump. And next day Trump was running his mouth attacking court & judge. This kind of outlaw behavior is dangerous for society and Trump's supporters imitate him as they also develop contempt for rule of law. And it's being said that further proceeding of case will take place after sometime, that is during GOP debates. So Trump will use all this time and opportunity for mocking the rule of law.

Court needs to give specific order to Trump in Legal terms - Trump & his campaign shall not make any public statements/comments about ongoing trial and against any agencies/people involved. "this is a witchhunt" "Judge and his family are pro Democrats" "Bragg is an Animal funded by Soros" etc etc. All these type of statements are unacceptable.

I concur with everything you discuss. I have thought about the split between Democrats and Republicans. It seems the new normal is that people are afraid to say anything against their own party's leader or they will be called a traitor. So they stand back and watch that leader commit all sorts of crimes and are supposed to defend him! When did we lose our right to freely question or oppose a leader no matter what party he is in. This is a basic American right that I see us losing, and we must stop this now.

“Nothing works because nothing has been allowed to work.”. This is absolutely dead on. There are so many examples of this. What good are experts when they’re silenced? What’s the point of knowledge when ignorance is glorified? What good is science when ppl are lead to believe conspiracies? Why do we have the 14th and 25th amendments when we refuse to implement them when the perfect opportunities arise? What good is anything if we don’t make use of what we have?
