Some of this comes from the nature of social media.
If you missed the video Timothy Snyder posted yesterday, please see it. In the second Tweet, I linked to the thread in which I tackled the same issues before seeing his video.
What if instead of repeating: "there've been no consequences," everyone did:
"OMG, the Trump Org has been INDICTED for FRAUD!
And the GJ is still hearing evidence."
Repeat a million times. Let it sink into the public consciousness. ("Her emails")
Instead of minimizing it.
These things puff Trump up and help his Strongman image:
🔹There are never any consequences!
🔹He gets away with everything"
🔹Yeah, okay, but what about . . . ?
These guys ⤵️LOVE when you say that.
("no consequences" also isn't true)

The right-wing understands how to do that. They take something that wasn't a crime ("her emails") and repeat it over and over. Mainstream media picks it up. Pretty soon even people who don't know better start thinking HRC was a crook.
The only thing standing between us and the return of the Trump regime is the Democratic Party -- so maybe trashing and battering the Democratic Party isn't smart.
Of course, everyone is free to talk about Democratic failures . . .
. . .but if a majority of voters believe the Democratic Party is a failure (or they believe the Democrats are responsible for Republican law-breaking because they stubbornly refused to Do that Something that will solve the problem) I can't see Democrats winning in 2022.
