Seeing him held accountable in a court of law is a victory.
Those 12 jurors deserve a ton of credit. I think the case was a slam dunk, but the pressure must have been intense. Former president who resorts to mafia tactics all the time and loves to rile and fire up his wacko supporters ... couldn't be easy. They've served their country well.

While I'm happy that he was found guilty, I'm not excited for how much further this might push an already polarized territory into further competition, bad-mouthing, and potential violence. Trust me, Texas is already full of F*** Biden flags and every other vehicle I see on the road has some sort of Trump sticker on it.
