27. In a sane world and country, Trump would have been in custody the evening of January 6.

Then Trump would have been prosecuted and still imprisoned.

Trump would have been one of many still imprisoned and subject to massive civil penalties and other limitations on future behavior (like lose voting rights, Vet benefits, banned from political and financial careers, and other privileges of citizenship).

Trump would be suffering the harshest punishment. Besides those that assaulted the Capital Jan 6, other co-conspirers, financial backers and Trumps involved family would suffer punishment serious enough to serve as a message for the future.

The Democrats should have not played nice.

Our failure to prosecute Jan 6 is why we are a failed nation and falling empire in terms of alleged American ideals.
