Yeah it’s the same reason there’s so much violence associated with selling drugs. When you have no legal means of seeking justice (a drug dealer can’t just call the police if someone steals their supply) - you have to resort to unsanctioned justice.
Turns out that electing a felon while systematically dismantling our institutions and trying to take away voting rights might not be the best idea.
I would argue that the lack of justice has been baked into our system from the start. Unaccountability for the rich and abuse of the poor didn’t start under Trump.
The only good thing Trump did was explicitly highlight the failures of a system designed around handshakes, winks, and assumptions that people have a modicum of humanity
