    It’s not like he’s ever see the jail cell to be honest, so I don’t think there’s any consequence

      It would be incredibly funny for him to become the second person in history to run for president from prison though ngl

        Second? Oh please don’t let it be Mandela. This would be a terrible comparison.

          The first and currently only person to run for the US presidency from prison was a socialist called Eugene V. Debs, he also helped found the IWW and the DSA. He was repeatedly arrested for labour activism and criticising the foreign policy of the USA until he died in 1926.

      So what do we do if that happens? If Trump and his goons are never actually jailed, or even let off or pardoned? What do we the people do?
