Uh oh! Prepare the fainting couches for the Democrats:
Former President Trump suggested Tuesday that his enemies could face similar prosecution to what he's faced if he wins in November, saying "it's a terrible path that they're leading us to," referring to his Manhattan conviction.
Why it matters: Trump, convicted last week of 34 felony counts, has suggested that he will go after his political enemies, including President Biden if he wins back the White House.

If Trump does this they'll call it "fascism." When the Democrats do it they call it "saving democracy."
