The issue is future culpability, not current prosecution.

Irrelevant.

SMH Fascism is not rebellion. Fascists are often elected and granted authority, in the vacuum they are responsible for. Kim Jong Un has legitimate authority, in the same vein.
This feels like you're trolling. Good luck with that.

There seems to be this idea, among people and the media, that “oh it’s ‘illegal’ so it’ll stop soon”. This is not the case. Trump cannot be opposed by the government; he is the government.
It needs to be recognized that Trump is acting with legitimate authority. Everyone carrying out and implementing his policies believes he can do them. They’re not in rebellion; they are obeying state direction. It’s important to recognize what stage of fascism we are in.
