- Think of how many crimes regular citizens have gone to prison for that were done due to “bad judgement”, but Trump is different somehow?
  
  Of course he’s different, he’s rich af. How many rich people have gone to prison for bad judgment?
  You’re doing capitalism wrong if you don’t worship rich people. Please DM me to learn more about our lord and savior Elon
Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump's pre-planned coup attempt to overthrow democracy was not "bad judgement". It was conspiracy to commit treason.
Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump's Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.

…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.
Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]
STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.
He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
LOL, this guy's a second generation Indian-American Hindu who is professing to live his life according to (Judeo-)Christian values.
From his interview with NPR:
I'm not here to convince you that I'm a Christian because I'm not. But what I am here to convince you of is the truth that we still share those same Judeo-Christian values in common. And I live my life accordingly.
I was raised in a two-parent household with the focus on education, with a focus on God, with a nuclear family, as the unit of governance that mattered most to us. That showed us that the love of family opens you, opens your heart up to the love of God. And we raise our two children, my wife and I do, in the same way. We live our lives according to Christian values.
That's a hard sell to conservatives. I almost feel bad for the guy.
