Even if they did (lol), Trump would just pardon them.
I don't know at what point most Americans will realize there's no democracy anymore. Maybe once the next elections are rigged? Probably not.
Wouldn't they be charged by the state? In that case Trump can't do shit.
Unsure since they're federal agents, but either way moot since Trump "can't" do a lot of things he has and continues to do.
The TikTok thing is one recent example.
Like illegally firing furloughed federal workers en masse.
They won’t. They’re still talking like it’s business as usual for voting. And even if some of them figure it out, they’re very unwilling to do anything that would inconvenience their lives such as a mass strike.
Most of white America is just mildly perturbed that their comedians are getting taken off the air and their healthcare might get worse. Beyond that they’re cool with the fascism part.
That being said, I hope and wish they’d prove me dead wrong.
