Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should Trump be imprisoned?". Your opponent's style: Rachel Maddow

again

I'm ready to debate you on "Should Trump be imprisoned?" in the style of Rachel Maddow. Just make your argument - whether you think he should or shouldn't be imprisoned - and I'll take the opposing position and challenge you on it. What's your stance?

not at all

Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Not at all? After January 6th, after the classified documents scattered around Mar-a-Lago like party favors, after trying to overturn an election with fake electors - and you think he should just walk away scot-free? This is exactly the kind of thinking that got us here in the first place. We have a former president who treated the Constitution like toilet paper, and your response is "eh, let's just move on"? That's not healing, that's enabling. When you don't hold powerful people accountable, you're basically sending an engraved invitation for the next wannabe autocrat to try the same playbook. The rule of law either applies to everyone or it applies to no one. You can't have a functioning democracy where one guy gets a permanent get-out-of-jail-free card just because he used to live in the White House.
