To reader Brian M. Stewart, the author of the post here: Sorry, but I have terrible news. Millionaires, and even low-level billionaires, don’t have access to the top-tier of judicial corruption.
Sure, wealthy people can afford attorneys who have been highly successful and are more likely than not to get you acquitted of whatever crime you may have been accused of, or get you off with a light sentence, if you hire them.
But if you want total immunity from criminal prosecution, you better be a Donald Trump
The rationale expressed at left is what most democracies use to guide their voting.
About half of Americans in our last election, however, use a completely different criterion. They elect the person who will punish everyone but white male Christians.
At left is a typical BS statement from the Trump administration.
Given that Trump’s approval rating is about 35%, it’s true that there are some Americans who do not want a Trump prosecution.
That leaves about two-thirds the nation, those who are honest and reasonably intelligent, who can’t stand the fact that the fact that this criminal sociopath might walk free.
The fact that West Virginia ranks last in education means exactly zero in terms of determining the criteria by which these people vote.
They don’t want a bunch of other things that people care about on the west coast and the northeast, e.g., honesty and the application of science to problem solving.
Give them white power and evangelical Christianity, and they elect you king.
