      I know I would feel awful about.

      Can you imagine the absolute torrent of psychotic conspiracy theories the MAGATS would spew until the end of time?

      If he dies of a heart attack the day before he’s convicted it would be due to the stress caused by his own terrible actions and would sum up his life perfectly because somehow he still avoids the full repercussions

        Yeah obviously.

        But the day before he got convicted? 2 days after that, or hell, years ago, no complicated feelings at all.

        I would feel like he somehow died to get out of being convicted lmao

          Even if he gets convicted, I wouldn’t put it past a centrist Democrat to pardon him for unity or some bullshit.

            How would the left take something like that?

            Like, say Georgia’s pardon board is bribed and they pardon him. What happens then?

              I don’t think the left would be very surprised, we’d just keep focusing on direct action. Centrist Democrats already DGAF if we’re mad.

              Liberals would call it “unacceptable” for a few months, maybe do a couple protests, and then continue to vote for the people who got him pardoned.

              Nothing would change.
