Not only is he alive, he is not even in prison and is looking to run again...

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 43 points 1 year ago

I also find it odd that his best chance of going to prison isn't even related to the fact he tried to stage a coup.
Any other person, it would've been treason and locked up for life (if not a death sentence) for even trying - no question needed.

Well, there's also a weirdly huge number of people in places of power that're on his side, and there's nothing to be done about it.

There is, but we don't have the stomach for it. France did it once.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

We could have the stomach for it, but we'd have to get through a shitload of rednecks, good ol' boys, and the military & police.

That's funny because that's also what you will say the next time he will be in power and won't leave. Y'all need to revolt before you pikachu face into a dictature.

Hasn't France had like 5 revolutions lol

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Not to mention that a lot of federal judges are people he literally put in power

Sounds like quite the flaw in the system.

[-] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That's typically how a coup takes place.

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 year ago

The mind truly boggles

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Presumably because he's somewhere in the bush with his so called "revolutionary rebel army".

[-] Ser_Salty@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Somewhere in the George W Bush?

[-] LoamImprovement@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago

Among the bushes.
