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.
What do Trump critics do?

I had an interesting discussion with @donwinslow last night. It went in a few directions (and he deleted one of his tweets) but I mostly pieced it together in 2 columns.
If no consequences will be good enough, we basically let Trump off in the media narrative.
Right?

There were two columns. This is the second. Read to the end.
I've been saying this for a while: The "no consequences" people will never be satisfied.
No matter what charges are brought, it won't be enough.
Because so many influential people are saying this . . .

Maybe Trump critics are the ones inadvertently putting Teflon on Trump.
If a Clinton org or foundation was criminally indicted for fraud, we'd never hear the end of it.
With Trump, we never hear it at all.
We hear NOTHING happened.

If respected law professors "teach" the public that getting indicted for fraud is no big deal because [fill in the blank] don't be surprised if people not paying close attention think the Democrats are failures and they vote Republican again.
This is so self-defeating.
This is so self-defeating.
Adding this here to address some of the angry comments I'm getting⤵️
