    I looked at /r/conservative last night and it was not good for my mental health. Thousands of commenters all agree it was a sham trial that he will win on appeal and that this will only earn him votes.

    The last two things, they may be right about and that’s terrifying.

      My favorite is the ones crying about how America has fallen into nazism because… Trump got convicted of a crime with overwhelming evidence of it.

      And its especially funny considering how down with nazism they have been until its conversationally convenient to suddenly cry about the evil nazi persecution.

      At least he can only appeal all the at to the State Supreme Court so the fedsoc six can’t fuck with it.

        He’ll try to get it to the us supreme court though, probably arguing that because the fraud was on a us election it’s a federal matter.

      They move the goalpost at every turn.

      I remember when they said he’d win big in 2020. I remember when they said he wouldn’t be indicted. Next it’s some other silly line in the sand. They’re not exactly great prognosticators.

      They call it a sham but I ask, where is the proof? There is, of course, zero.

      I haven’t been to that sub, but is there any way to estimate how many there are Russian operatives or bots? I’m guessing this conviction will be fertile fodder for encouraging uprisings amongst Trumpies.

      Yeah, what’s been going on this whole time with Trump is gaslighting. It’s extremely bad for all of our mental health.

      Our nation is sick, and the first bit of medicine we need is some semblance of justice for one of the most renown white collar criminals to ever hit the American spotlight:

      Trump must be published for his crimes. If he is not, then America and the entire world is at risk of destabilizatiom.

        I would agree with you. It is quite shocking to read conservative opinions on this though. None of them have a fucking clue what he did wrong but they’re all sure it was rigged.

      He’s not going to win on appeal unless the case gets moved to Canon’s district.
