you're unhinged and you're unaware of it.. if this news about Trump has you imagining Bernie doing crazy shit, you ARE the sickness.. this isn't Alex Jones' Discord server you're on here..
I read it as an analogy elsewhere that made a lot of sense to me.
I'd personally love to see trump in an orange jumpsuit for the rest of his life. However I genuinely believe that he'll manage to convince millions of people that his means justify his goal.
It's easy to look at the string of charges and indictments and assume he's unelectable, but a lot of people are going to look at this like it's a legitimate form of civil disobedience. I'm not, in any way, trying to suggest that his actions are comparable to "unlawful" climate protests or civil rights protests. But I do think he's posturing to make that claim and continue his narrative of persecution.
i'm just going to throw holy water on you and tell you to begone
