To date, most of the news coverage around Trump has been his defense team's fumbling failures to make a compelling case.
Lemmyites are happy with this prevailing view for the time being. But if the increasingly right-wing dominated press decide to change their tune, we could easily see a "Trump is being persecuted unfairly" narrative gain ground in 2024, the same way that "Hillary Emails make her unfit for office" gained ground in the run up to 2016. Just depends on which way Jeff Bezos's WaPo, Elon Musk's Twitter, and Bill Gates's NBC decide to swing as we head into the general election season.
You're absolutely right about voters not being legal experts. And that's going to leave them increasingly vulnerable to whatever prevailing media narrative swamps them in November.
Independents are who make or break an election. Let's see if this numbers remain the same come election time.
It was more than fair. If it had been someone like us we would have went to jail for contempt.
I think they were trying to say slightly more Republicans found it unfair than found the verdict incorrect
Oh, thank you, you are absolutely correct.
I was baffled.
Because.........feelings.
Obvious troll is obvious
Pot, meet kettle.
Are you going to expand on that or just drop a bunch of stupid and run away?
Are legal experts widely arguing it was unfair? Every lawyer take I’ve seen has been that it was if anything overly fair
Happened to bump into a lawyer two weeks ago during lunch at church. Know of a few others from other orgs like the bike club.
Neither are you, thankfully.
But they are the voters, and that’s all that matters.
Are you suggesting we don’t let common folk vote? How very Platocratic of you.
That's certainly true. If I may ask, what point are you trying to make?

You should report back up the chain that "lawfair" isn't catching on. Your handlers should feed you a new talking point.
What is that even supposed to mean? Get better material.
You seem pretty uninformed. No surprise you're repeating things you heard but cannot define.
No, I don't actually care. Did you look it up?
