The only reason he will get away with it, is because he has still a big enough base that if he were to actually have to go to prison, his base would try to start a civil war. But it most certainly would cause a severe uptick in more white terrorism. Some of the lower hanging fruit may get busted in all this, but the former guy is a great mafia boss, and is still too insulated to be touched so far.
Fair enough. I probably should have said "corners" instead. I would say there are two sides though - one of them is just wrong and without evidence, plausible arguments or any defense. Not all that different than how many people replied to my naive plea for "honest" apologetics, honestly.
Interestingly, as I sit back and reflect, many of the current political disagreements may be what finally tipped the scales for me on matters of faith. It was more the science denialism ramping up (covid, climate, abortion, etc), but also certain political events. Notably January 6th. I watched all this go by while spending far too much time during the pandemic watching the news and was appalled at the things people can believe with no evidence - even when the truth unfolds in 1080p streamed live. It made me wonder what things I personally was still believing with no evidence, which changed everything for me.
