Even if he loses, he will suffer no significant consequences, nor will the lawless movement that supports him.
He could lose all of these cases tomorrow, and it still wouldn't mean a thing. He could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and there still would be no significant consequences.
The GOP are a lawless terrorist movement, but everyone else wants to "take the high road."
Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump has already suffered huge consequences of losing his business license in NY and having his business go into receivership. In addition to the expected $250 million fine.
True. This is literally the corporate death penalty. His corporate assets may have to be sold to pay the debts. They will not get much, as the brand name will have to be changed. It's the worst thing that could happen to a business owner.
He will not be poor, but may end up with his name on worse buildings. Houston TX vs. Manhattan. And you know he doesn't want to leave NYC.
He's losing in a big way with these NY cases. There's a strong chance that he'll never be able to do business in NY again, which means a lot of work restructuring his businesses. It's a pretty big hit and will take a lot of time and money to resolve.
The election cases will be held next year, and will determine whether or not he sees jail time. I still have high hopes that we'll see him behind bars in the next couple of years. These cases just take time because of the ramifications if the DOJ gets them wrong.
If the Democrats/Progressives take the low road to beat the Republicans at their own game, isn't that just one team winning over another team? Whereas if you’re fighting for ideals then you’re going to end up taking the high road a lot
The ideal I'm fighting for is not being labelled a child sex offender and executed by the government because of my rainbow lapel pin. I'm open to higher ideals but when one side says we need to be "eliminated" I'm probably gonna tolerate a lot from the people who are trying to stop them.
"Take the high road" in this case means "treat treasonous criminals with kid gloves because they're supported by the GOP." If everything had been done by the book, Trump would have been in prison a long time ago.

The terrorists on the right need to be met - unfailingly - with unwavering resistance. And when they get violent, we have to stop them. That doesn't mean making a press release saying "we condemn in the strongest possible terms blah blah..." That means rounding up the violent actors and locking them away from civilized society.
Conservatives used to say that "tough on crime" should mean "tough on criminals." Well when the GOP are criminals, the law needs to get touch on them.
Currently they aren't scared of anything, because most of the other violent people sympathize with them. If they are going to wreck our Capitol and dismantle our freedoms, it's time for another Sherman's March, and finish the work that we started in Reconstruction.
They speak openly of killing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. And anyone else they don't like. They need to be scared of doing that, and we have to beat them to a pulp in order to make that happen - because that's the only language that thugs understand.
