I’m worried because people are laughing off Trump’s threats to sue the women accusing him of sexual assault. Suing someone still means the other party usually has to show up to defend themselves. It’s a public, costly process that spineless, rich, abusive assholes can undertake for fun with the best lawyers in the world.
There is no way any woman would’ve been able to come forward against him without being prepared to pay an enormous cost in terms of their livelihood, their reputation, and their own sanity. And that’s exactly what’s happening now. He’s trying to bully them into silence.
So it’s not a hilarious ridiculous premise. This is an intimidation tactic from a craven, small man used to either getting what he wamts, or taking it via bastardization of the legal system or by brute force.
