he is only a result of a larger problem. The problem is much bigger, it's sociological, and THAT will take a LONG time to fix.
Here's how I look at it: This is the result of decades of conditioning, beginning with.......................................
See post #21 by
Mac'58. It is an insightful view into the phenomena that led America to this experiment with Trump (and Bannon). Bannon ID'd the slice
of the demographic (the "alt-Right") that could be susceptible to demagogue-flavored messaging. It got the nascent Trump campaign some traction....so they followed
the scent, found the seam, and away they went into full on MAGA-nutjobbery. Exploiting all the fears about 'others' about 'nationalism' about xenophobia,
about immigrants. All those seams in America's fabric have existed for a long long time but responsible leaders sought to find the commonality between Americans
rather than the differences. But now with the internet, cable news, and malevolent conmen like Trump and Bannon, and others.......those differences, those divisions could be widened, the differences highlighted, and exploited.
Thus we get a game show host, an entertainer and grifter as our POTUS. IMHO

I also believe Biden and Pence should be charged.
The distinctions that make a difference are: Neither Biden or Pence failed to fully comply with a subpoena demanding the return of documents.
Neither Biden or Pence lied about having such documents when their existence was brought to their attention.
And therein lies this game, this indictment. All the charges in the indictment reference only the documents that were found AFTER the
subpoena had been served. And Trump failed to fully comply. And after Trump and/or his lawyers had lied about the existence of one or more documents.
Therein lies the difference. Therein lies the indictment.
