Original Note:
Criminalizing political opposition generally refers to targeting opponents WITHOUT due process of law. Trump was convicted by a jury under existing New York laws, not criminalized by Joe Biden. Trump has also threatened to jail political opponents without due process. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/nov/15/donald-trump/the-criminal-prosecutions-against-trump-are-not-ju/ https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/30/trump-interview-jail-political-opponents-glenn-beck https://apnews.com/article/trump-trial-deliberations-jury-testimony-verdict-85558c6d08efb434d05b694364470aa0
