    If Obama did what Trump did, then he would deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison.

      But that’s what MAGA doesn’t get. If our political leaders break the law, then they should be punished according to it.

      They don’t believe that we really believe this. They just think we’re saying to appear superior to them. It’s easy to say that we believe in the rule of law but, for them, there’s no evidence that we will submit to the consequences of law enforcement when it doesn’t favor us. Except the evidence that Democrats live up to our ideals to some extent is that Al Franken stepped down in the midst of the #MeToo era after being accused of sexual assault. And also Obama wasn’t a seditious cry baby ass bitch like 45.

      In other words, MAGA beliefs only make sense in a decontexutalized vacuum where history doesn’t exist and evidence is superfluous to political expediency.

        The problem is, they already believe Obama should be in prison the rest of his life. They think Obama is a part of their “deep state” and because of this he cannot be touched even though they can never present evidence Obama did anything criminal. The reason they cant provide evidence? The “deep state.”

        It’s a sickness they allow all to hide their prejudice.

        Goddamn this reads beautifully. Eloquently put!
