and FYI, i don't get into all of the details on it, cause in my opin, if he was guilty, then the Federal Government should have been all over him and charged him immediately.   So why didn't they?

The "federal government" WAS all over him. 

He was impeached--twice--but let off the hook by the party he controls.

Before that he could have been charged for obstruction during the Russia 
investigation--but not on Barr's watch! Trump controlled the DOJ. 

So the expected checks and balances have been paralyzed so far, rendered impotent
because the GOP now functions as a regime party centered on the personality of Trump.

And now, to the cheers of MAGA faithful, Trump wants two things--another term as president
and full immunity for his actions before, now, and forever. 

So please don't mistake the effects of successful party autocritization as evidence nothing is wrong 
simply because Trump hasn't been convicted of much--just defamation of a rape victim and massive fraud.

A significant segment of voters WANT an autocrat for president, while "independents'
still don't see any real danger signs. 1/6 was prevented so "the system worked."  
"Both sides do it" and one could "quite honestly" make a stronger case against the party whose
leader did not try to overturn a valid election and doesn't want full immunity, and whose members are
not laying the legal groundwork to take advantage of another round of "rigged elections" if necessary.
