Why Trump Lawfare is Backfiring? 77 Million Americans Have Been Arrested

The choice to pursue lawfare as a central electoral strategy may turn out to be yet another indication of our elites’ detachment from reality. It won’t be the first time they seem not to know the country they govern.

77 million Americans have criminal records, meaning they have at least been arrested. Many of these people may find themselves identifying with the 45th president because of their own experiences of being accused, arrested, charged, and forced to defend themselves. Of course, many of these 77 million Americans have had their cases dropped, but they were all at least cuffed, fingerprinted, and photographed; some were briefly jailed.

Almost half of all black men and nearly 40 percent of white men have been arrested by their early 20s.

When the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, many formerly arrested Americans would have thought back to when police entered their homes, searched and impounded their vehicles, and dredged through their social media. When they saw Trump’s Georgia mugshot, many would have recalled the moment when they, too, looked back at the police camera. They might have remembered their own mugshot—and the likely unflattering image it produced.

Even pro-Trump pundits and politicians don’t really get it. For example, as one GOP state representative told the Financial Times: “Iowans, and everyday Americans, realize that if this can happen to a New York billionaire, it sure as heck can happen to us little guys.” True. But fully a quarter of Americans have some grounds to think, 'Can happen? It already did happen to me'.

Well, there's only so much you can expect from dank, tunnel dwelling alien demons who husbandry humans, eat humans, enjoy human suffering and despair, and drink our blood, directing their technology bribed, puppet bloodline elites with idiotic, scattergun psychopathy. Lawfare probably sounds good to them.

After all, how much of the psychology of a fucking cow do I know? I just know the steak tastes good.
