I agree, but also a tragic day. This does nothing to reduce the polarization or convince his misguided followers of anything. Trump might go away but his voters won't. We have decades of this to look forward to. It's a step in the right direction at least...
The consequences of national polarization may, in the long term, make Trump's actions look small.
This arrest certainly pushes us closer to the edge. Whether that will lead us back to normalcy or over and down is yet to be seen.
And it would be better for national unity if one party was allowed to get away with committing crimes without facing consequences?
I've been thinking lately that if Nixon hadn't been pardoned, we never would have been here today.
