This is BULL SHIT.
Jailing him would show his supporters there are still consequences.
Also, it's likely to draw some of them out to do some illegal stuff in "protest" of donnie the Nepo Baby being locked up.
And then THEY can be put in prison, too. :)
But would his supporters see it that way? They're so innoculated against reality that they accept his narrative uncritically. They won't see it as consequences, because they don't see him as guilty.
I also don't think the effects on his supporters' beliefs should matter much to prosecution for his crimes. I can't imagine there's any way for that to have an effect that nudges them towards reality
It's not relevant in this context.
Tell me honestly...what can they do? Cry? Whine? Go attack the fbi and then shoot themselves like that one guy?
I keep hearing this argument and it baffles me as to what people like you are afraid of or think is going to happen...
I feel like you're arguing against a very different position that I hold/expressed? I don't think they'll do all that much differently than they were already going to. Trying to appease his supporters by tempering the justice for his crimes won't work, and will probably do more harm.
But would his supporters see it that way?
I don't care
Sounds like you never met a trump supporter. Or republican for that matter. They will double down.

As I ask below. What are they going to do?
Do what they do now but double
So nothing, got it
Ok, triple down!
