He's facing fines, his family is in court, he's already been found liable for rape, everyone was saying the same thing before he even went to court. That he would never actually go to court that he would never be found liable for rape, and now he has.
This one incident isn't so important except as a cumulative addition to his felonies. But everything added up is important and he is facing actual consequences.
He's a rapist. Anybody who votes for Trump or supports Trump is voting for and supporting a rapist. That will not change everyone's minds, but it's going to affect how some people vote.
It's still way to little way to late. The amount of shit that fucker still is allowed to pull would have landed any other normal person in prison months ago. When the justice system does show this unequal application of it's justice, it does hurt it's own perception among the normal people significantly.
It isn't fair or proportional yet, but it proves that even though everybody was saying that he'll never go to court or get in trouble for anything, Trump was found to be a rapist, he is ordered to pay millions of dollars in compensation, his motions to dismiss cases are now being struck down instead of allowed. He's facing 36 felony counts.
Cynicism and marginalization about the sentencing he's already faced and his current legal battles only helps Trump. He wants you to have that exact attitude, because if enough people think that he can't be prosecuted, then you will fulfill your own prophecy.
The justice system in this country is very slow, and it hasn't been "fair" since it's inception, and even so the justice system is working.
He's liable for rape, his business licenses were suspended in New York, his family is going to court, it's being litigated in Colorado whether he can even be on the ballot.
It isn't fair or proportional, but people are actively fighting against Trump and getting results, rather than complaining about how maybe further action won't work.
