    The difference between these two men is that Navalny was never given any sort of due process.

    Donald Trump has perhaps received more due process than any individual in the history of the nation. He walks free as a bird despite 91 felony counts, has had multiple court appearances where his legal team had ample time to present evidence to defend him, and has made extensive use of his right to an appeal in just about every judgement against him.

    Trump losing in court isn’t a grand deep state conspiracy, he’s actually just guilty and really bad at presenting evidence to the contrary.

      Another big difference is that Navalny was prosecuted and eventually killed for politics, and Donnie avoided prosecution for years because because of politics.

      Another is that Navalny was persecuted by a dictator while Donnie was indicted by juries of his peers.
