What are "people like you" exactly?

He's just not going to face any consequences for his actions because he is part of the class which owns this country. Being charged means nothing, he will never see the inside of a cell

"People like you" being the pessimistic people that think nothing will happen. Thing is, he's not a part of the class that owns this country, he's just a fucking larper in that regard and the dipshit fucked with the class that actually owns this country. Being in an American cell ain't shit, that ain't what concerns him cause he could continue doing most of the same ol' bullshit from a prison cell. What concerns him is losing grasp of the illusion of power he has and that's exactly what's happening. Motherfucker tried to reach beyond his station and the powers that be are going to put him in his damn place.
