The people being asked the question will not answer in good faith. They are blood thirsty, they are angry, and they want a scapegoat, not a civics lesson.
DeSantis was a lawyer for Gitmo; Trump wanted to execute five innocent black men before he had any political ambitions; Vivek fully embraces the caste system that benefited his family in the past, and has pretty openly suggested he wants to use violence to implement it here.
We know the people who are running for president are blood thirsty, they don’t hide that in any way. They chose to run on a conservative platform, violence is inherent to the ideology, and on top of that frequently advertise how well they would play the role of violence if elected.
I agree with all of this, but unfortunately none of it is framed this way in the media.
The mass media kinda has a “Jews for Hitler” vibe going about it right now, because a lot of Trump’s “political enemies” are journalists. They should stop pussyfooting around that fact and stop covering this as a horse race because if he wins he’s gonna run his horse right over them first with the rest of us not too far behind.
You can listen to to to them talk at any recorded rally they have. There are interviews with these people. Websites. PACs. Years of history. Television debates are not the only way to know thier thoughts. None of these people appeared out of thin air.
They need to ask ab9ut this during these republican debate/PR events. Do you support tump’s call tto arrest his political opponents?" Yes or no,
Stop pretending you can debate fascism away.
If by ‘debate’ you mean ‘execute by hanging’ then you can debate fascists away.

That’s why they should ask the question. We are either a nation of laws or we are not.

If those peo0le who are running for president are blood thirsty, we should probably know about it before voting starts.
At this point you can just take it as a given

They already asked them if they would support Trump as nominee ( their political rival ) if he was arrested and imprisoned. I think 6 of 8 said “yes”.
Technically 5 of 8 said yes, DeSantis waited to see what everyone else did and then raised his hand as well.
I recall pence also hesitating
Hesitating isn’t the same as waiting to make sure you’re on the same team as the popular kids.
If anything hesitating puts him marginally above these other bootlicking fascists.
Trump doesn’t do debates anymore. He doesn’t have to. I think he has saturated his market.
Didn’t Ramaswamy basically say he would rule through executive order and ignore the courts and congress?
