    So the threat of political violence has tangible results on the rules of justice? You know that only encourages more political violence right? It’s “Might makes right” with like one extra step. No one willing to die for Trump is going to care if he goes to jail now or next year they will do what they will do. But changing procedure because of them means their threats are working, which means the US Justice System, is not.

        Do you honestly think he supporters care? They don’t believe in truth, nothing a lawyers says or does is goning to change their mind. All the justice system is doing is showing them violence works. If thats the justice system you want then we have fundamental differences on what justice is.

            Then ‘reality’ is settign the stage for bigger coups and more stochastic violence from fascist leaders. This mentality you seem to think is ‘reality’ is not an preventing violence, it’s just kicking it down the road to the jext judge, the next governor, the next person they target. It’s MORE dangerous to do what we’re doing now. You’re very nonchallant for someone to whom reality means violence gets you what you want.

                Welp then instead of doing anything proactive, should any of that violence you don’t care about makes it’s way to you, I hope reading your book gives you great comfort in knowing that it was nothing special. The difference between history and the present is we can still change the prsent. You sound like you couldn’t change a lightbulb with that perspective on things though. Good luck.
