Reflecting on the GOPs attack on the felony charges against Trump...

I was thinking of a sports analogy…yellow card vs red card in soccer, flagrant 1 vs flagrant 2 in basketball, 16 technical fouls before a suspension in the NBA. Take away the felony charge and replace it with two misdemeanor charges (as the jury still found sufficient evidence of the actual sub-charges). Those 2 misdemeanor charges still may or may not have attracted similar outrage? That leaves (based on just the last 7 or so years/that I remember) 1 sexual assault, 1 defamation, 4 fraud charges (Trump Univ, Trump Foundation, payroll tax and property valuation) and 2 more charges last week…so 8 civil rulings/misdemeanors and a monitor to oversee all business activities of Trump.org because of their history of fraud …all unjustly brought, all unjustly determined, all political persecution right? Are there a number of misdemeanors/civil rulings that are politically disqualifying (like sports) vs focusing on a single felony charge? Maybe make that part of the conversation particularly for the sports literate voters vs focusing on ONE trial?
