    Considering his freedom after a widely televised insurrection, kinda looks like “rule of law” has already been destroyed in your country 🧐

      It definitely has. What we’ve seen in response with the various prosecutions since then certainly feel more like a piddly attempt to scrape back some semblance of dignity for the law, rather than a true “victory of our democratic systems.” I think a more accurate statement would be that he’s squash any remaining embers of real justice and order and make sure they stay squashed.

      It never really existed for the rich and powerful. Just for the peasants.

      The only time you see the rule of law apply to the rich and powerful is when they harm other rich and powerful people.
