  • He is above the law and can’t be prosecuted, but others still can be.

    Ex. he issues an order to seal team six to kill trump.

    Biden can’t be charged for that. But seal team six is still governed by the ucmj. Killing a non combatant for no reason even if the commander in chief gives the order might be a bit of a problem under the ucmj.

    There’s also the oath you take when you join the military

    “Defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic”. Killing a political opponent might be a bit of a problem when a person actually looks at that oath.

    The seal team would probably say no for both of the above reasons. Biden couldn’t be charged but others still can be.



















  • Why?

    That’s complicated.

    People see a lot of immigrants coming into their area, and taking jobs. It’s not hard to see how people would draw a connection between the above statement and connect it to “that’s why I couldn’t get a job”. There’s a natural push back there.

    Some companies see the influx of immigrants and realize they can get cheaper labor, and those that don’t get the job (the ones who already lived in that area) get disgruntled. It’s easy to talk some of them into joining a side that pushes back on immigration.

    One of the things the far right looks at is immigration.

    The left typically asks for bigger government and more social welfare programs (more taxes).

    The right is typically smaller government and less social welfare programs (less taxes).

    At a time when we are drowning in debt and can’t afford to buy food, have less taxes and more money in our pocket is an enticing idea. Easy to pull people to the right.

    The worse the above problems get, the further to the right people go.

    The further to the right they go, the less they hear from the left. Now they only see and hear one side. It becomes a vicious cycle at that point.
