And no, I dont think Trumpistas are racist, fascist, sexist, white supremacist, or deplorables.

I dont understand why people buy in to the grifter, though.

tanq., you need my advise. But you're gonna get it anyway:

You do not strike me as a leftist troll. You seem to me to be someone who is sincerely committed to the "Rule of Law", which has been one of the most precious tenets of our nation during its existence, at least since the adoption of the Bill of Rights. Although not always honored (particularly in the historical context of race), for the most part the American legal system has been head-and-shoulders superior to any other country's legal system - - living up to its stated mission of applying the law equally to all citizens.

Which is why this Mar-a-Lago raid conducted by the Diapers/Kneepads D.o.J. is so frightening, especially in the wake of the well-established underhanded behavior of the Obama D.o.J. (and Treasury Dept.) with:
--> the Fast and Furious scandal, the IRS targeting of conservative entities,
--> the Hillary e-mails whitewash,
--> the contrived prosecution of Gen. Flynn,
--> the false warrants for the Carter Page subpoena,
--> the altered Strzok 302 report,
--> the intentional burying of the Steele Dossier source,
--> the intentional burying of the Hunter laptop,
--> and so on.

So many of our American industries and institutions have disgraced themselves over the past 15 years. Mainstream media's credibility is in the dumpster - - not because of talk radio or Fox News but instead of because its persistent water-carrying for the left. The medical establishment has likewise disgraced itself, by bending over to the Obamacare takeover of our health and insurance industries. Elizabeth Warren's CFPB has completely crippled our banking industry.

But the scariest of all is the politicization of our justice system. Your (and others') dismissiveness of real concerns leading up to this raid undermines the respect of the public for our federal justice system. It is not an answer to say that this is acceptable because Donald Trump is a dishonest jerk. In America, even dishonest jerks have civil rights.

If there was a national security concern, that needs to be stated (not the content, but the fact of it). Leaks suggesting this is the case is not the same as a categorical statement of the fact from Weasel Garland. In the absence of that statement, I and many others are going to assume the worst - - particularly in light of the many abuses we have seen since Barack Obama took over the controls of our gov't.
