We like to convince ourselves that America is a nation ruled by law, but it’s obvious now that that was all bullshit propaganda. We’re a nation ruled by whomever has the most money. It’s as simple as that. It has nothing to do with actual law.
When they say that no one is above the law, do you believe that that’s just American propaganda to make you feel better?

I believe that’s how it’s supposed to be, but that’s not how it is. Donald Trump himself proves that. He’s one of the biggest examples of it. Everyone folds and lets him destroy the nation and hurt people. Even people you’d expect to have a spine, wouldn’t do what they could to stop him. Celebrities get a whole different set of rules. When they do as much drugs as they want to and overdose it’s “tragic” but when the average Joe does it, they’re a bum.
It’s only supposed to work enough that there’s not vigilante justice
The conservative project for decades has been to undo that- wealthy, powerful people want to be able to buy or bulky their way out of any kind of accountability, and for many people , that’s the appeal of Trump.
Why even pretend you’re asking a question when you’re just looking to proselytize?
No poors are above the law
Well O.J. never did find the real killers, Hillary Clinton never got prosecuted for her server, Hunter Biden… well Hunter Biden… So
Watch videos of Judges being pulled over and having a hissy fit and even going as far as getting the police officer put on leave or fired. Everyone in the US is equal, some are just a little more equal.
Yes
Yes.
Exhibits A-ZZZZZZZ – A Russia assettraitor to our nation has stolen 2 elections and bilked people out of millions on pure bullsh!t for decades.
The rich are obviously across the law and some of the extremely wealthy will revieve pardons from the president so NOTHING they do is illegal
This is why I’m going to a country where they Punish their politicians for corruption. Portugal.
There’s definitely favouritism when it comes to handing out verdictsand sentences but it’s not as bad as some places. I hate the presidential pardon rule and think that’s an abuse of power.
Yes. Plainly many people are above the law. Too many manage to buy their way out in some fashion.
“Equal protection under the law” is part of the constitution but the wealthy clearly have more protection than someone with a public defender.
Is there anyone still under the illusion that no one is above the law, when we have a multi-felon in office?
Yep, money talks.
Different rules for the working class.
Fight the power, friend
We are nothing more than animals with opposable thumbs and abstract thinking capabilities.
Of course it’s propaganda. In fact, we’re a nation of good old boys and the good old boys get what they want.
A felon/rapist is sitting in the oval office right now. So…
Yeah, the law ended up being all bullshit. I always kinda figured it was but now we know for sure.
That statement has never been true. Even in childhood there were kids who got away with murder and kids who got punished for being a kid.
Judging by the current president, it’s obviously not true.
