    The same courts that gave immunity to the president for “official acts”?

      Yes the same courts that did that. POTUS shouldn’t be preventing the opposition from running candidates.

        Being a poltical opposition shouldnt be a shield from consequences. Anyone else, he would have been labeled a terrorist and sent off to gitmo. But i guess US has always been a veil democracy anyway, so im not really suprised once the remaining illusions eroded away.

          It isn’t a shield from consequences. The courts and DOJ were prosecuting him.

          There is NO situation where elected officials should be deciding who can oppose them in a democratic electoral system.

                Why not? He could make the executive decision to stop the madness and force their hands to actually put forth a trial. He could done it and immediately resigned and let the system decide if his actions were justified. I understand its really not a great thing to undermine democracy… but if he truely believe democracy was already being undermined, then an exetreme act with benevolent intention should be allowed so as long those actions are proven justifiably.

                  Because that is how dictatorships work. That action would completely undo our democratic republic in a way that even 1/6/21 couldn’t.

                    So I Guess its better to vote for a dictatorship than trying to protect democracy for the future.
