A Parody of Freedom Under the Law

Quote:
There is simply no way to defend yourself against a rape charge [as brought by a despicable female liar against Donald Trump] nearly 30-years after the alleged incident took place — particularly when, as in this case, the accuser admits in her deposition that she didn’t say no, that she didn’t scream, and that she didn’t report the incident to police. Hell, she doesn’t even know with any specificity when the alleged incident happened! And yet a New York City jury, which was always going to be politically hostile to Trump, found the former President liable in the case.
And we all knew they would, especially if they could establish plausible deniability for acting purely as political partisans. They wanted to punish Trump. And by allowing this ridiculous case to be brought, the courts [despicable corrupt judges] let them. The verdict was practically baked in once the case was allowed to proceed. The populist ogre has now been legally vilified; order of the elites, with their rules for what democracy must look like, has been restored; the ends justified the means.
This use of the legal system as punishment — lawfare — goes beyond mere political vindictiveness. This is, in fact, common practice post-Trump. It is the normalizing of political prosecution by partisan actors using the legal system as cover in a way that appeals to American sensibilities, especially the “rule of law” which we’re conditioned to believe, in a neutral sense, we still live under. But we don’t. These aren’t real trials. They’re simulacra. We’ve become a Potemkin democracy. Nothing is as it seems.

Yes, exactly right - a Potemkin democracy, covering a communist regime. With Stalinist show trials, kangaroo courts, and political prisoners - the whole nine yards. And Mao’s Cultural Revolution, turning the children against their parents and making them property of the State, is well underway.
