From the close of the election to this day, Donald J. Trump has become more and more desperate in his calls to his own followers. He makes irrational claims with no basis in fact. He calls out to his supporters in ways meant to intimidate others. His leadership has led to his state party organizations being turned into his cronies who aren’t in search of the truth or to run great candidates, they are merely sycophants who live to only push his plan to destroy the government.
As President of the United States, there are a few expectations of your job. One of them is that you do not agitate in favor of an uprising against your fellow Americans. Donald J. Trump has worked from the first day in office to his last to divide Americans, to foment discord, and to ask people to not see what is good in each other, but to distrust and hate each other. For the party of Christian values, for a party that values life, this is the open decision to say 81 million Americans who voted should fear for their lives or have their lives threatened. Recently, some of the conservative cases against Democratic voters and elected have bridged from the bizarre into rants that would be worthy of a cult or a terrorist organization. Whether they like the label or not, On January 21, 2021, Donald J. Trump will stop being president. He will begin his new life as the leader of an organization that has one goal: to destroy America.
Take to the streets. Urge the violent overthrow of a duly elected government. This is Trump’s party. Where is the Republican Party to even defend their own? As their own duly elected Secretary of State and his family were receiving death threats, where were the party members denouncing calls for violence? Nowhere. More death threats. Republican federal elected to say it was wrong? It’s a ghost town. Recently, Lin Wood, Trump’s own attorney, demanded the public execution by hanging of Vice President Mike Pence, because he will confirm Joe Biden as president on January 6.
Full disclosure: I am someone who actually quite likes Microsoft Windows Server, believe Microsoft Teams is a superior product to Zoom, and in the escalation between XBOX and Playstation — primarily because I think the purchase of Bethesda is going to pay off, bigtime. Still, the idea that Bill Gates is masterminding some sort of global plot is so ridiculous it defies all reason. Microsoft is also the same company that crashed and burned with Windows Phone. No one is rocking a Microsoft Zune. They backed away from buying Facebook initially because the offer value was too high in one of the worst business decisions, ever. This is the same “globalist company” that is set to try and do.. what? Hell, Microsoft isn’t actively involved in voting machine services, and frankly, if they were, I would have a fair amount of faith in it, as their backend core OS which drives a ton of bank ATMs all over the country has proven to be incredibly stable and secure, and I’m not seeing Republicans protest the banks for using it or arguing how it is rigged. The reason? Because software is not rigged. The effort it would take to coordinate such activity is overwhelming with uncertain returns. But floating a conspiracy theory and invoking globalists.. well..
The use of death threats and intimidation of officials to handle elections to set them is something Trump accuses others of doing — and yet, the proof is apparent, as leaked in the audiotapes, that he is the one conducting the pressure. This effort is beyond the pale. It reflects everything America opposed in nations that set up petty dictatorships with rigged elections.
The Biden administration has no need to be civil with Trump and his army of cultists who seek to overthrow the government.
The Trump backers have taken to the floors of government to plead with us about how stimulus would impact future generations who would bear the debt, and yet, they do so without ever once noting that children today who struggle with proper housing and food and need the stimulus will be permanently impacted without it, and every day we doddle just sets them back further. Debt pass on? We are doing it by not helping anyone NOW.
You cannot lead this country and be a terrorist at the same time. Trump may only have sixteen days left in office, but it is sixteen days too many for someone so committed to act in this criminal manner.
