Americans Don’t Appear Capable of the Most Basic Elements of Justice

This is illustrative of how screwed this country is. Tens of millions of us have no regard for the most obvious, provable facts shaping our lives.

Our president clearly tried to overthrow the federal government of the United States, and we eagerly offered him a second term in the White House.

Is there another country on Earth whose people believe that 2 + 2 = 5?  If the French or the Japanese or the Bolivians were faced with overwhelming evidence that their president was a psychotic criminal, would they defend him–and then re-elect him?

Brazil finally figured out that their equivalent of Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro, was a sociopathic felon, and sentenced him to 27 years in prison.  Up here in the U.S., we seem to be entirely incapable of anything resembling criminal justice for our country’s wealthiest and most powerful people.
