The only options are justice within the legal system, extralegal justice, or no justice at all. Itās understandable if people are desperate to believe in the first because they cannot countenance the latter two.
A strong legal system and the rule of law is one of the underpinnings of Western Civilization. That will be in place regardless of the result of the Trump cases, unless the edge lords succeed in destroying faith in the system for the lolz.
Like, my soul is so tired. And I donāt know if Iām so much a warrior now as out of fucks, man. Iām out of fucks.ā

I think itās really simple. If Trump wins and manages to dismantle our institutions then all these lol law, commodus.gif, and nothing matters people wonāt look so silly after all. However should he lose, thereās really nothing to stop the slow wheels of justice from grinding him to a pulp
How is there nothing to stop it?
Stopping it will be his massive cult fanbase, a real threat of civil war, a feckless legal system that has failed the past four years, a corrupt SCOTUS, pathetic dems who will call for unity, the fact that nobody super rich or famous ever faces justice in the US, his general fame ect.
You think all this goes away on Nov 6 in the highly unlikely event he loses? He will just run for a third time.
You have fallen in the world justice index every year since 2016 from 19th globally to 26 today. Itās not edge lords. Itās data. Even pre-Trump you had a pretty shitty justice system by the standards of democratic nations and itās only gotten worse every year.
The continual reliance on the courts to save you allows people to do nothing else to stop trump because you can think āthe legal system will deal with himā. Itās designed to create complacency.

You forgot one. A corrupt and feckless political system. I agree we have a feckless AG and a corrupt SCOTUS that has brought us dangerously close to becoming a very new and frightening US of A. And if he wins reelection there will likely never be accountability
Garland made a huge miscalculation in bending over backwards to avoid the appearance of partisanship and thinking the rule of law would prevail. Dems now need to crush at the ballot box in just about every election to save democracy. If we donāt, then I agree with you
This part I at least donāt think we have to worry about. I mean this time around, Iām not letting myself get fooled again, and taking all the talk of his almost certain impending mental collapse with an enormous grain of salt. But four more years on top of that is enormous at his age and I really think thereās ~0% chance heās viable as a candidate at all in 2028.
No, but his kids or cronies will be
