I enjoyed the mug shots and related memes. But I’m not convinced we’ll get the judicial conclusion we want or need. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try. But the wealthy and powerful have a vested interest in protecting their class privileges. Trump, et al might be exceptions, outliers, aberrations that require correction, in the eyes of the system’s elite classes. The GOP might recognize it’s in its long run self interest to punish these guys and tame the movement of fascist dupes they lead. But it will take a mass progressive movement built on an intersectional coalition of labor, industrial and intellectual, to overcome the damage the conservative forces in both major parties, especially the GOP have done. Maybe in my lifetime.
