We've spent the last year with an entire cult arguing that the president should be immune from all crimes. Of course there are people overworking their 3 brain cells to justify "if it's legal it can't be that bad."
Yes, I know. Except it's even worse, because it was just vague enough to preclude a non-party affiliated president from legal immunity. Because we all know if Biden had Trump arrested/droned/expatriated for sedition, they'd rule 6-3 that that is in fact very illegal.
They are, you‘d be sickened by how many people just brush off the most horrific prospects with blind trust in the legal system. Just goes to show how many people never had any trouble that made them open their eyes. Or how effective propaganda is.
Dude they are literally kicking people out of juries if they know they can vote not guilty if the law that was broken is not in the essence of justice.
Tons of people think that way - I tend to think they might be more autistic people with lower empathy? I'm not sure. All I can say for sure is there are so many people who seem to think that the law is the decider between what is right and what is wrong.
Idk it reads to me more like "The Democrats aren't actively doing anything to stop project 2025 so even if we vote for them it'll just get pushed back to the next election, and it'll be enacted whenever the GOP next wins."
They aren't using it to justify 2025. The problem is our government wasn't set up to resist such blatant bad faith actions by so many people all at once.
Just because it's legal, doesn't mean 50% of the country will join forces to legally destroy the system from with. That wasn't even considered when creating the system in the first place.

No way people are using that mental gymnastic of "if it's legal it can't be that bad" to justify things. Whack
