albaby1: No, you could pick a real-life one if you wanted. Maybe a Ray Nagin, or Kwame Kilpatrick both of whom were convicted of a number of felony frauds? Or if you want to rush to judgment, maybe someone who's simply been accused of it, like TJ Cox?
None of those democrats would have ever had a shot at the White House. Sorry, but this thread is silly. And although I agree with most of your posts, the republican party has clearly become a cult.
For example: in a cult, followers are expected to act as if the leader would like their actions. On January 6, although president Trump never specifically told his followers to breach the Capitol, he did tell them to stop the steal or they would lose their democracy. So the cult stormed the Capitol to block the counting of the electoral votes, precisely what the cult believed he wanted done. Many of them who were charged said so in court. And Trump confirmed this in his video message to them on January 6: "We love you. You're very special." That's a cult, and he's the cult leader.
In court we'll see just how high up the chain of command these events were planned and executed.
A new CBS News/You Guv poll found that 71% of Trump supporters trust what the former president says more than they believe their own friends and family. That's a cult.
And no, I don't believe that most republicans "have corrupt motives and malicious intent," I simply disagree with most of their policy positions.
The sole exception is Donald Trump, who I believe cares about no one but himself and is a real threat to democracy, democratic institutions, and to the rule of law.
