Chia, OK, so I plead guilty to calling the mob who broke into the Capitol screaming, "Hang Mike Pence" a bunch of thugs. It so happens that the dictionary definition of "thug" is "a violent person, especially a criminal."
Here is the dictionary definition of "extremist": "a person who goes to extremes, especially in political matters; a supporter or advocate of extreme doctrines or practices." Your and Blackbery's posts would be examples. Not to mention the thugs breaking into the Capitol building screaming, "Hang Mike Pence!"
You are familiar with the metaphor slang expression "Kool-Aid." If not, it's from the 1960s/70s, referring to Kool-Aid laced with hallucinogens. Today drinking the Kool-Aid is a metaphor for people with a tenuous connection with reality.
I could go on in this fashion, but honestly-- if the judiciary were so corrupt, why did Trump's legal team even bother to file lawsuits? Note that Trump himself appointed 3 of the Supreme Court justices, and two others are extremely conservative. At lower federal court levels, Trump appointed roughly 200 judges during his term. Why would Trump appoint corrupt justices?

Where is your evidence that the judiciary is corrupt? I submit that you have no evidence.
Many judges are conservative. But they have to follow the law as it is written.
In fact, you have no hard evidence to support your conspiracy theories.
A few decades ago, rightwingers got very angry with liberals trying to improve social justice conditions in the United States. A big rightwing rallying cry was, "America: love it or leave it!"
So if you think the American political system, media, judiciary, and liberals are so corrupt, maybe you would be happier in another country more to your liking.
