But would his supporters see it that way? They’re so innoculated against reality that they accept his narrative uncritically. They won’t see it as consequences, because they don’t see him as guilty.

I feel like you’re arguing against a very different position that I hold/expressed? I don’t think they’ll do all that much differently than they were already going to. Trying to appease his supporters by tempering the justice for his crimes won’t work, and will probably do more harm.

I don’t care
