So when are they going to jail him for his crimes and then he can write his "Mein Kampf"?

I find Stalin a more applicable comparison.

1. Both demanded extreme loyalty
2. Both maneuvered their way to the top by making and breaking alliances (in the 2016 primary, Trump cozyed up to Carson, then to Cruz to destroy Carson and then Carson again to destroy Cruz).
3. Both turned on people over slights both real and imagined
4. Both believed in pseudo science (Stalin's views on evolution sounds a bit like Trump when he talks about "having good genes" etc)
5. Both had groups that they despised, though the specific groups differ
6. Both hijacked an ideology
7. Both were able to label previously undisputed diehards of said ideology as traitors, utilizing a tradition built on denouncing and destroying people insufficiently committed to said ideology already (Lenin purged a number of SRs, Menshiviks and other leftists, just like Conservatives purged a number of "Rinos" in the mid 2000s). 
8. Both were in denial about a crisis (Stalin ignored intelligence about Nazi invasion), slow to react to a crisis (Stalin retreated to his dacha and had to be retrieved by Party members), and early actions taken were marked by incompetence and very costly in lives lost.
9. Trump was mentored by mafia lawyer Roy Cohn, Stalin was a literal gangster shaking down oil companies and others in the Caucuses and even organized a bank heist to fill party coffers at one point.
10. Both claimed credit for things other people did, multiple times.

Trump's behavior over this past year entirely, from Ukraine-gate to COVID-19 to the election aftermath all has been more than enough to validate what his opponents, like myself, have said about him since he first descended down that escalator, and maybe even before. He is everything we always said he is, but depressingly, too much of this country still doesn't care or understand why he has been such a threat to the concept of stability over these past four years.

This is what happens to a party that has won the PVI once and is the minority of the country. They appointed most of the Judiciary and expect them to put them in office.

History will judge Rs harshly as they made Gore concede early and Trump wants the Crts to install him likewise as Prez due to pending Prosecution

If the roles ever get reverse again and we install 2, more judges on the Crts or 4 expect the Ds to fight and not concede, Trump has set precedent
