Bullshit. I just watched that speech, and there was no chant — it was clearly one person saying “lock him up”, and they didn’t even repeat it. And she was grinning before that applause break, not in response to a random heckle at the end of it. Wtf is this.
I’m not laughing. I get why some people think it’s funny, but it’s not a good cycle to be in.
Trump should not have been trying to sell outcomes in the justice system as a political move. It isn’t going to improve the situation any to do the same back.
This should have never started. It shouldn’t be perpetuated.
This isn’t a political outcome being sold, other than denying him the presidency means he’s not simply immune. People going to prison for being found guilty of crimes in courts of law is the normal course of events.
Not locking him is as equally political as him trying to lock hillary up. The apolitical thing to do, as a prosecutor or investigator is to do your fucking job; by the book. In fact, a large part of the reason we’re in this mess is because Trump has been left free to do as he fucking pleased for the last 3.5+ years.
The apolitical thing would be to not have chants to jail someone at a rally.
I don’t care about Team Red or Team Blue. I care about Trump acting in a way that I’d consider wildly unacceptable for someone in his position. If the Dems start doing Trumplike shit because he did it first, I am going to be done with Harris too. There are other people out there too for whom the issue with Trump is how he acted. Adopt Trump’s behavior, and the Dems will kill their appeal to them too.
He’s literally a felon. He’s facing three more court cases about serious criminal acts directly related to politics and his time in the office he’s seeking. That’s all directly relevant to the political campaign.
Get out of here troll. Trump rants at HUNDREDS of rally’s to lock up people he doesn’t like and ONE chant that is actually true - he should be locked up - makes you think they’re all tHE sAmE??
So tell me, what’s the difference between one candidate calling to lock up their opponent for ‘crimes’, and another letting the crowd repeat the first one’s chant after they were convicted of multiple felonies and are doing their damned best to weasel out of countless more criminal proceedings? Is it minuscule, or a massive difference that makes the two situations not remotely the same? Hint: the latter one.
Fuck him, lock him up. Criminals should be called out as criminals, especially when they’re running for office. Boo fucking hoo, don’t like being called a criminal, don’t be a criminal, and don’t be super public running off your stupid dumb mouth.
Maybe the civil war is inevitable. And maybe a half-decent multi-party democracy comes out of this too. Jesus christ, the internet is full of this shitshow of a “democracy” these days.
How is it not democratic to bring up the fact that the opponent is a criminal who is only not behind bars because of who he is? In an actual democracy the fucking felon wouldn’t be able to run because his crimes would have disqualified him from running. But in this banana republic he gets to walk around and plot for his second attempt at a coup.
So again, fuck him, lock him up. And fuck off with this bullshit that we should forget that he’s a traitor to the country and should absolutely be in jail for the crimes he committed, and he’s only not in jail because of the anti-democratic moves by his toadies in congress and in the judicial system. That’s the real undemocratic part of this whole campaign, not some fucking chanting at a political rally.
Oh for God’s sakes sake quit with this they go low we go high bullshit. It’s nonsense and a fever dream you’re having. There’s no point in playing this game with Republicans. You’re wasting your time trying to go high.
