Can someone educate me a bit about the US's political laws. Is it legal to campaign for votes by threatening the voters? 🤔

wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there's no longer law in the States.

Oh there is. There is no rule of law, no equity of law, but there is law. And it will be used as harshly and aggressively as possible on the poor, minorities, Democrats, the press, universities, etc.

laws to protect the rich and bind the poor.

always has been. just never so literal and in your face

True. It's partially just a dropping of pretenses, but to keep up those pretenses we sometimes had to have justice. Now that the act is gone I'm afraid the small bit of justice the disenfranchised did have is gone with it.
