Are Democratic voters just incredibly naive? Or maybe they just don’t care when the lies are about the “other guys.” So, if Donald Trump is targeted, anything goes.

By now it should be obvious to the least savvy of voters that leftist prosecutors have targeted Trump and constructed the crimes. Does anyone honestly believe it is a coincidence that all the Trump cases began at nearly the same time, during the election cycle? Does anyone honestly believe that anti-Trump prosecutors who brayed about going after the former president prior to being elected are actually looking to uphold law and order?

I believe his judges are compromised by their political associations, and the jurisdictions are all heavily Democratic. No one truly believes Trump can get fair trials.

You may not care. Because, hey, it’s Trump. And you hate him. I get that. He’s not led a virtuous personal life. And you could repeat the dozens of talking points (which I think are often based on lies fomented by Democratic politicos and the likes of CNN and MSNBC) echoed in the media. But leftist screams about how horrible Trump is do nothing to eliminate the appearance of political persecution going on.

And, sure, you can laugh and say, “So what? It’s Trump!” But it’s not supposed to be America. Russia does this. China does this. Banana republics do this.

The Democrats are all in on stopping Trump by any means necessary. In my opinion, using the courts to accomplish this is only one of these means. From here it gets much scarier.
