What would unbiased accountability look like to you? If the roles were reversed, Trump would be shouting "Lock him up!" in front of crowds every day. No one is doing this to him now (except in jest), because it's expected that his trial be fair.
Read the full indictment. It's clear he understood what he was doing was illegal and he didn't care, and it's clear he was aware it was not in the country's best interest. He was given many chances to make it right and failed to do so. He's been treated more fairly than he'd have done to his political opponents.
He needs to be held accountable. He put himself above the country, and it can't happen like this again. If a federal trial in front of a red state jury isn't fair, I don't know what would satisfy you.
