There is a difference though, putting an ex-president in jail would create such a political shitstorm that it just wouldn't be worth it.

Meanwhile, put any or all of us in jail, no one would care 😂.

this is exactly what was being said years ago regarding the russian collusion investigation, but every time i see someone saying it on here it gets downvoted. reddit and lemmy are fake intellectual shitholes. the toxic optimism here is worse than stupidity.

putting an ex-president in jail would be complicated. the guy has state secrets and a lifetime secret service escort. im sure it could be done, but at most it wouldn't be a normal jail sentence.

Then the system inherently creates and needs different classes of people to function, meaning it cannot guarantee equality under the law and therefore is illegitimate.
