    Trump wasn’t “arrested” in the way Navalny was - i.e. poisoned and tossed in a cell to die. Trump is getting trials, and frankly getting a lot more leeway during those trials than the average citizen would. To date every court is erring on the side of leniency when dealing with his behavior. Punishments are only given after he is found guilty of things he actually did, and they are within the previously established guidelines.

    The nation is not going to apologize to the MAGA crowd for demanding their cult leader not commit crimes like fraud, sexual assault, and trying to dodge US democracy with an insurrection.

    They are, for real and entirely with their whole souls, convinced that Trump did nothing wrong, Biden’s a crook who stole the election who’s going after him in a dangerous and undemocratic move almost akin to Putin’s, etc etc.

    The people at the top, who are producing the extremely convincing propaganda which they consume, are guilty as sin and for-real should be in prison for it. But a lot – the majority, I think – of the people who buy into the propaganda, for as genuinely fucking dangerous as they are, aren’t actually doing anything wrong. (Aside from not being sharp enough to see that they’re getting suckered.)
