First, this is a British newspaper, and this is how they are presenting America to their readers. To people who really lived through the Hitler history we must look pathetic, ignorant, and tragic. Second, this is the state of consciousness in Iowa. These people believe in, follow, and serve, Donald Trump, a man with so many criminal indictments, felonies, and criminal convictions it’s hard to believe he’s just one scumbag. Trump is like a Batman cartoon villain. But even worse than that Iowa Republicans clearly don’t understand that juries made up of ordinary people just like them indicted Trump. Biden and his administration have no vote in the jury room. Nor do the Iowa MAGAts seem to understand it is juries that will convict him. So what that is saying is that a large percentage of Iowans have no idea what democracy is about, or how it works.
Trump was in court again last week but it doesn’t seem to have affected his standing with Republicans in Iowa, who still want him to be their nominee
A majority of Republican voters in Iowa believe the pursuit of former President Donald Trump by the FBI and the Department of Justice smacks of Nazi rule in 1930s Germany, according to a new poll for DailyMail.com.
Some 57 percent of respondents said they agreed with the statement: ‘The lawlessness of the persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.’
It comes after months of attacks on the FBI and the Department of Justice by Trump and his allies, who say he is the victim of an attempt to end his presidential campaign.
He was indicted for the third time last week, on four charges related to his efforts to hold on to power after the 2020 election.
He denied all the allegations and his campaign issued a blistering response, drawing on the darkest days of 20th century history.
‘The lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is […]
What is most important, in my opinion, is to focus on the consistent core message that Trump has been screaming over the past years: “The system is rigged”. This speaks to the experience of millions and millions of citizens. It articulates a truth in their lives ignored by the political establishment. This is why Trump won his first term. It is easy to dismiss Trump followers as racists, bigots, and “deplorables”. To do so, is a profound error, as it ignores very legitimate grievances.. You may not agree with the targets Trump paints as the causes of these grievances; however, it is up to the Democrats to acknowledge and speak to “the system is rigged”. When examining the action of the Democratic party look through that lens, and you will understand why Trump’s approval rating soars with each indictment. Does anyone expect Joseph Biden to articulate these things? All while the establishment Democrats work tirelessly to shield their octogenarian candidate from the debate stage. So, is the system rigged?.

I am afraid I must agree with you, Albus. Every political system is rigged; from my city council, to the Pa. State representatives, right up to the Congress and the Presidency, it
is all rigged when the rich can buy their favorite politicians.
