    Super easy for those in power to keep their rivals from being able to run for office. Currently the president and afraid you’ll be unseated by the opposing party’s candidate? Just start an investigation on them! Boom, no more rivals.

        Totally agree. These systems are critically important for our society. They need to be considered with care, and we need to be mindful of the complexities that come with any changes to them.

          The real solution is you need a populace that is civically engaged and capable of enough critical thought to not fall for the right-wing fearmongering propaganda Fox, OAN, Newsmax, Murdoch, et al. spew out.

            Bingo. A properly funded and functional public education system, that teaches real critical thinking and let’s include media literacy while we’re at it.

      Wouldn’t it take more than an investigation? A grand jury would need to sign off on the indictments.
