Just talking to an informant on the Democrat side. Unsurprisingly, this person heard that throwing political opposites in jail is a 'third world thing.' I heard the (shell-shocked looking) Andrea Mitchel say this right after the debate so I knew it was going to be a talking point that would get play. Here would be my rebuttal:
You know what else goes on in third-world banana republics? Politically powerful people get away with anything and everything since they are above the law. That's what!
What happens to people, that try to overthrow a democratic country?
Would you support it or fight tooth and nail against it.
Just FWIW, this person or bot 'borrowed' an earlier post of mine word-for-word and that is what you see above. I've not seen this technique use here before, but whatever.
