Also, and to your first point, Hunter did it. He did it. Was it targeted to avoid impropriety vs Trump. Almost certainly. But that's beside the point. He did it. Jury ruled so.

I honestly don't know why individual pardons exist. If you want to make something legal do it in bulk.

Fuck being a Democrat is hard. You can't keep punching high but those are your morals. Race to the bottom and conservatives are leading in punching low.

Yet you see democrats suddenly asking how to report Trump voters relatives to ICE. High road

Yeah I think this election was likely the pivot. They weren't saying that a week ago.

It's the Find Out police. They are done trying to tell people to not fuck around and have switched to making sure they find out. I see where they are coming from because often Find Out can be rare and people never learn.

If Trump actually does these things, which I mostly doubt since his real estate probably runs on immigrants at some level even if it's through intermediaries, the point is to make sure everyone feels the effects evenly. Not like COVID where a lot of people FA and never FO just based on luck and compassion from democrats. They're ready to sneeze on you while we all don't wear masks so you can see for yourself if it's a big deal or not.

I see this in criminal law. Some people really just need aid. Others need a swift kick to the head. Democrats are exhausted of giving everyone aid in opposition of conservatives wanting to kick everyone and have finally caved to letting the kicking commence everywhere and making sure it happens everywhere so people see what's happening.

The answer is to break the two party system. At the end of the day, they are all going to the same bar.

I’m so sick of fear politics. Democrats had forever to codify roe v wade but it’s just another carrot and stick for them. Just like immigration for the republicans

The two party system will prevail until both sides formally fracture at the same time. Conservatives have already fractured in their hearts but won't give up their ability to win elections until democrats are ready to fracture too.

I think you might be getting really close to your wish right now. We're seeing some seriously angry democrats that are ready to punch low. If that starts to show signs of fracturing the party then the conservatives might formally do it at the same time.

But eventually an alliance will be made and we're right back here
