The difference between trials in an autocracy that Trump followers want and in a democracy

 The right is already complaining Trump has been found guilty by the left in the court of public opinion. The right, of course, says it is all politics. The prosecution of Trump has little to do about facts, truth, or the law, they claim.  FYI There is a difference between the current system of justice and what the Trumpsters would like to see.  . We still have an independent judiciary which Trump would like to turn into a tool for his hoped-for autocracy.  There is a  major difference, right there. Trials by a jury of his peers...not a trial by his followers, of course. Almost all testimonies in his four indictments are by those who were loyalists and worked with him and not by his political enemies.. In Florida, his trial is run by an avowed supporter of his. The FBI is run by a Trump appointee.  In DC, the jury has not been chosen yet, nor yet in Georgia. If these  trials were in a country run by a strong man, such a trial by 12 citizens would be very suspect. In this country, he is granted the rights afforded to all defendants....so different in countries governed by a strong man...whether it is communist or Hungarian-style fascism. Trial by public opinion is another matter...but that trial does not land anyone in jail. It could cost him another election.  Be glad we are still a democracy.
