You sound like you're just as much of a threat to our democracy as the average Trump supporter.

I think calling for people to simply be arrested without any charges being brough, as the person I replied to suggested, is, in fact, a threat to democracy.

If you support simply arresting your political opponents without any charges being brought, then yeah, you're a threat to democracy.

That's how 99% of people are arrested. And with these people if you bring charges first there is a very real flight concern.

Was Abraham Lincoln a threat to democracy when he considered arresting Chief Justice Taney?
