Just make comparable cases of a similar situation and see how severely Trump is being treated compared to other people that's what I use as my litmus test.
It might be hard to show side-by-side comparisons .
Nobody has ever tried to overthrow the United States government in order to stay in power as president. EVER before. So no comparison can be made.
However, I personally believe that an example should be made; so that the plutocrats will stop trying to put brain-dead puppets like Trump and Shrub (Bush Jr.) into office.
Nobody has ever lied his way into the White House So Blatantly.
I will grant that almost all politicians either lie or at least make over the top promises that they know they cannot keep, in order to sway the vote in their favor. But as can be clearly shown, the Insurrectionist tries to completely alter the entire mindset and create a delusional false reality for his worshipers (often successfully).
Their cult consider fact checking to be offensive, and spewing “alternative facts” as a praise-worthy achievement.

So, considering this, the only comparisons anyone could even begin to generate would include,
- David Koresh
- Jim Jones
or,
- Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
So overall, it is likely that it is tRump’s wealth and ill-gotten power (especially his overt corruption of the SCOTUS), that has afforded The Insurrectionist such an undeserved supply of leniency so far.
