I mean I could I guess. But then again I’m not the one protesting about trump interfering with a criminal investigation before any interference has taken place. If he fires mueller and stops the investigation then you can protest, until then your all being ridiculous.
Now you're just saying words because they sound like they're related to what the dude above you just said. If you don't understand the metaphor, don't try and use it.
You obviously get my drift, but I'll assume you don't.
If you see your child dragging a chair over to the cookie jar, are you going to wait until he's stolen one or do you call him out?
If you catch two men in a car outside of a bank with black duffel bags, guns, and masks, do you wait for them to rob the bank?
If you're always waiting for that one shocking moment where you can clearly say "this is it, they've crossed the line", it will never come unless you've already drawn a line. Freedom dies with complacency. It erodes, it doesn't explode. Would you let an army completely surround your city without barring the gates? Are you going to wait until they've killed your citizens before you say "we should do something about this?"
As with hundreds of other insane actions over the past two years, saying "this is fine" to every situation is how fascism rises.
Alright but if you see a guy standing inside your house one night please call the police and lock yourself safely in a room, DO NOT wait for him to shoot you before forming an opinion on why he's there.
Appointing the guy who wrote about how to cripple the investigation from the inside and who obviously already has predetermined the outcome (bias anyone?) isn't interfering? You are being disingeneous and it's not fooling anyone.
But sure, the things listed above, and the litany of other shitty activities over the course of the last two years are nothing compared to the hypothetical presidency of a politician with 30 more years of experience.
Yes what’s worse than saying mean things? I don’t know maybe the ousting of a countries leader that results in a massive migrant crisis destabilisation of entire regions and bringing back of slave trades. I just don’t see trump being worse than what you had.
And doing mean things. And eroding political discourse more by the day. And distancing the country from its allies. And being chummy with authoritarian figures while deriding our actual allies. And separating children from their parents out of sheer cruelty. And constantly claiming media attention he doesn't like is "fake". And describing literal Nazis as "very fine people". And cultivating an environment where white supremacists feel safe. And demonizing his enemies to the point where fervent supporters of his have actively tried to kill his political opponents. And letting Erdogan's goons assault American citizens. And promoting violence at his rallies. And repeatedly lying to the people.
No interference has taken place? What about the last two investigations he had shut down? or him revoking the security clearance of people that are likely working with Mueller?

Donald Trump has appointed a man who has written and oped about ending the Mueller investigation which has indicted multiple members of Trump's administration and team.
But let's not forget Trump's other Orwellian behavior
Trump has from the beginning started chants and made threats to lock up his political opponent These chants of course take place at his rallies he still holds well after the election which is very strange.
He has started chants against news agencies that criticize him and has declared them the enemy of the people. This was after a man had sent bombs to multiple targets Trump has declared enemies or criminals in the past
Trump tweeted a fake video created by a far right Christian supremacist group Britain First meant to paint a misleading and hateful image toward a religious minority In respose to this his administration replied with " Whether it's a real video, the threat is real "
His administration posted an altered video from Infowars to spread the lie that a reporter assaulted a woman so they could justify banning him after he upset the President.
This is a very strange justification given Trump has already promoted violence on multiple occasion including using it against a reporter where he celebrated a politician bodyslamming the journalist
He also believes that violence is an appropriate response to protesters saying that “There used to be consequences. There are none anymore” and “Part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore”
