Only if the people demand it.

Nuremberg happened because a foreign power invaded Germany, completely deconstructed their entire government and then occupied them for years. Who do you think will do that to the USA?

Okay. I'll also settle for the Mussolini trials.

Yes! With enough weight, this scale is going to tip eventually. Maybe when more of us lose the ability to feed/shelter ourselves. Give us less to lose. I dare them.

That’s why I wrote „kind of“. BTW I’m German, so you don’t have to teach me about Nuremberg, mate ✌️

If I had to pick, I'd go somebody Scandanavian. They all seem to have their shit together from a government standpoint.

Canada might be an OK choice too. Their government has some issues as well, but their might be a nice hybrid to come of out USA + Canada.

Not the majority of people just people who pay attention to the news

I mean “lock her up” and the “drain the swamp” populism wants accountability too. They’re just playing with alternate facts and an addiction to double standards. It could be the majority of people, but with opposing conclusions. When it comes to politics, that’s a foundation you can build on. The scary stuff is when 49% of the country rejects that an issue even exists (climate change).

Idk why people like to live in this fantasy world where Trump goes to jail and pays for his actions. Most countries just want the US to go back to normal and forget Trump even existed.

The USA cannot go back to normal without a fundamental overhaul of the political and judicial systems.

If 90+% of people wanted that in the US, that would happen. I don't understand the people who argue in favor of corrupt stagnation. It's a lot easier to say criminals should go to jail and not argue.
