President-elect Donald Trump is charged in the case by special counsel Jack Smith with crimes related to trying to undo his defeat in the 2020 election.
And just watch the neck breaking speed the Republicans rush through their political persecution cases. I expect to see Democrats in prison by the end of the first or second year.
I don't see why they wouldn't. They'll say "we" went after a sitting president with impeachment so they'll go after anyone and everyone with the fascist cheerleaders on Fox pushing for the death penalty (which they're already doing).
My point is that fascism builds until the root causes and those fanning its flames are rooted out and destroyed ala Napoleon, Mussolini, Hitler; or they burn on and continue to oppress under an authoritarian like Franco, Pinochet or Putin. There aren’t a whole lot of examples in between where an authoritarian relinquishes power after a short term.
I know which one I prefer, and, from example, we can see a little jail time is insufficient.
