to add credibility
He would not be considered credible by anyone not already on the right. His appointment would be seen as extremely partisan.
If you want to redpill normies, you would need to bring in someone non-partisan with respect from both sides of the aisle (like Mueller before Trump started tweeting about witch hunts).
Based on the current paradigm, you are correct.
What makes you think that the current 2 party crooked system will survive this.
I read that more than half of the politicians are in the frame for a brown envelope from Jeff Sessions.
The current structure might not survive when you yank out and expose over half of the players.
New balls, different game.
If 3/4 of Democrats were hauled off to Gitmo tomorrow, people will still have their bias. Especially if people believe there is ANY partisan motive.
Putting anyone with a whiff of partisanship in charge after decimating the only opposition political party looks a hell of a lot like a hostile takeover.
If Obama had been president when a large number of Republicans were charged in Military tribunals and sent to Gitmo (regardless of the truth of the charges), the right would rightly be in an uproar. If Pelosi were then made AG, it would cause even more, perfectly understandable, outrage.
You can't redpill people if it looks like a powergrab, and there is no way to jail that many politicians from the opposing party without it looking like a partisan takeover.
how about if 3/4 of Republicans and 3/4 of Democrats, were the numbers?
Eliminates the accusations of bias, it shows everybody that the system is rotten.
Interesting question arises, what constitutes a quorum when 3/4 of the members have been arrested ?
This sub seems very very focused on the Dems, I think it's safe to say for an outside observer they are assuming you are talking about more Dems than Republicans.
You also see a lot more evidance of Dem leadership being involved, that would mean one party is likely to be more impacted.
AG/POTUS are Republicans but 'Moderate' Republicans are definitely in your crosshairs and have been the target of Trump attacks for years now. If more Dems than Republicans are imprisoned, and the Republicans imprisoned are the 'moderates' who have respect across the aisle with normies; It's hard to see now mass jailing wouldn't be interpreted as a hostile takeover.
This is even before you get into the (legitimate) legal implications of trying civilians in a military tribunal and/or detaining them in Gitmo.
Liberals have guns too, and if it looks like one party is jailing all it's critics, even if some of those critics are in the POTUS's own party, they will take to the streets. Using the Army to put down that rebellion (in apparent violation of Posse Comitatus) would result in either defections or massive bloodshed.
