Democracy dies the instant that one party tries to imprison the political figures of the other party. It all starts out innocently, imprison a corrupt leader and think you can move on. Then the next thing you know, whomever is in power will imprison any rival and you have a pseudo-dictatorship.
Here is the list of countries that have recently imprisoned the political opposition:
- Russia,
- Venezuela,
- Taiwan,
- Chile,
- Egypt,
- North Korea,
- South Korea,
- Zimbabwe, and
- Iran.
Is this the group that you want the US to belong to?
To this day, the most dangerous thing that Trump has said is to lock up Hillary. Trump crimes or not, we do not want to get into the business of locking up political figures. Get Trump out of power, undo what he did, and move on.
