Are you prepared to say that MAGA wants all its political opponents arrested just because they chanted “Lock her up” and they want to convict Joe Biden?
Here's the main difference as far as I can tell, and it's a small yet I think important distinction: Trump, when given the power and authority, didn't actually fricking do it.

I mean, Hillary actually broke the law, and Biden is on audio actually engaged in Quid Pro Quo (for exactly what Trump was impeached for), but don’t let that stop you from defending them.
I’m not defending them. I’m asserting, correctly, that claiming a political opponent is breaking the law and should be convicted is not the same as asserting that all of your political opponents should be arrested. This is obvious and true.
Biden clearly is guilty - if not of actually breaking the law (they are claiming they sold “the appearance” of influence) - then at least eough to warrant impeachment and removal from office.
Hillary is more complicated.

Breaking the law is not why Reiner wants Trump convicted, though. Reiner wants Trump convicted to prevent him from running for office. He further asserts that there should be no 3rd party candidate.

was he cast as meathead because he was a stark raving lefty then, or did he become a stark raving lefty because he was cast as meathead?

There is only ONE political opponent.
He is being persecuted.
Your point is moot.
Oh, and…

And all under the auspices of "defending democracy".

That’s what you say. They say differently.
We say that we want Biden convicted because he is obviously a criminal. They say we are on a political witch hunt, that Trump’s influence was used to get, for Jared Kushner, the Saudi billionaires investment in his Private Equity fund.

And they’re notorious liars. Reiner knows Trump hasn’t committed a crime with regards to J6. He only wants a conviction to prevent him from running so his preferred candidate/party can win. He further qualifies this wish by saying there should be no 3rd party candidate.

The nation's public debt is >120% of its GDP.
We have a demented President appointing cross-dressers as admirals.
An entire month is now devoted to celebrating elaborate, hormone-fueled mutual masturbation.
And you, having taken this all in, have decided to make common cause with "Meathead" in his efforts to reinforce the status quo. Ponder that.

Who knew the path to “democracy” meant not letting the voters vote for who they want?
The USSR had elections, too. Not a democracy.

How many times did Trump’s administration or it’s allies indict her?

That's his most egregious comment.
Absolutely complete opposite of democracy when you don't want any political opponents to your chosen ones.

If I was Bill Haslam, or Linda McMahon, I'd have lunch with Joe Manchin and offer him 100 million dollars to declare a 3rd party presidential candidacy....GAME OVER!

Another tiresome Lefty hollering "democracy!!!."
Curiously, we find the term overused and seemingly "worshipped" in the original writings of Lenin, Trotsky, Eduard Bernstein, Kautsky and other notable Bolsheviks.
But for the doctrinaire Bolshevik, it was nothing more than a "two-wolves-and-a sheep" mentality which is now becoming overused, hackneyed, worn out by the modern Left.
Just as the Bolsheviks used it as a prop to excuse their murderous pogroms.
They believed with the proletariat they had the "wolf" numbers to spread their bloody ideology.
We're seeing little glimpses of this attitude developing here with the Lefties with "democracy" as their slogan and excuse for effecting anti-democratic schemes.
Another big caution as to what our progeny, descendants will be facing - which will be a roll of the dice as to whether they'll be able to prevail over it.

Goddamn Meathead.

Jailing the opposition and limiting the number of candidates reeks of democracy, Rob. 
No wonder Archie called you a Meathead and Gloria screwed around on you; you're a dumbass.
