Donald Trump is blasting special counsel Jack Smith and vowing to continue talking about his criminal cases even as prosecutors seek a protective order to limit the evidence that Trump and his team can share.
Part of the reason why nothing ever changes is the people who want to see him jailed for his many crimes - including the crimes being committed while in the middle of actively getting in trouble for the same crimes - carry on with their lives as if everything is normal.
If Trump were (rightly) jailed months before tria because of his bullshit, his base would likely go full revolution domestic terrorism mode. Fox news would blast the horn of Gondor and every red hat would start marching to the beating the drum of civil war (hint, many already are). These people have proven they’ll happily risk throwing their lives away in federal jail to make this happen.
All laws and actions aren’t actually governed by anyone but the people. We are allowing this to happen by not shutting down the economy and forcing the wealthy to act in our best interest and not theirs. From Trump to wages and healthcare its the exact same answer. They do what they get away with and if we don’t stop them they’ll just push harder.
I’m not trying to pass the buck, or victim blame, or suggest that standing on a corner with a sign is the answer. But the right wing are super organized and have a base that’s ready to go nuclear against their own country for any reason because they want to get their way(they don’t even know their way, just enemy bad), and other political groups simply don’t have this kind of energy and commitment - which is fair because deprogramming a cult member is exceptionally hard, and isn’t permanent, and the cult is also on several 24 hour channels.

In the end though, if we have two groups of people who want a drastically different government… maybe splitting the country up is what should happen.
