After the Democratic Party led treason of the 1861-65 Civil War, only one Democrat was elected president until 1912. After Republican incompetence and greed of the 1920s, which produced the world-wide 1929-4l Great Depression, Adolf Hitler, World War II, the Holocaust, and led to the 1945-89 Cold War, no Republican was elected president until 1952.
This post is being written after the sobering June 16 hearing on the treason of January 6, 2021 – or, more accurately, the treason that had existed for some time.
Numerous witnesses, many Republican, testified in chilling detail about how close the “United States of America” came to losing its democracy in a deliberately planned violent coup.
At this early point, with much ,ore evidence yet to come – there can be ABSOLUTELY. NO. DOUBT WHATSOEVER – ex-president Donald Trump and his enablers/followers intended, for the. FIRST. TIME. in American history, to remain in power by. ANY MEANS. NECESSARY.
By dictionary definition alone, for treason and sedition, The Trump camp is. GUILTY.
The January 6 committee has now repeatedly shown, with video evidence and testimony, those dictionary definitions have been fulfilled by the Trump camp.
As conservative judge J. Michael Luttig testified – much evidence continues to become visible that various people all over America, some running for office, some creating armed gangs, some creating incredible LIES, some accepting those LIES – intend to act on the fiction of the “stolen 2020 election.”
Those who witnessed Judge Luttig’s testimony will forever remember how emotional and difficult it was for him to say the things he was saying: that American democracy was in great peril.
Those running for office as “republicans” are often doing so in order to ensure “election integrity” – which for them means “Republican” victories only. They have passed many laws rigging elections already. They have issued kangaroo “court” decisions allowing this rigging to continue
All this, as Judge Luttig said, IN. PLAIN. SIGHT. They have announced their plans; they are campaigning on ‘election integrity.” If elected they aim to make sure nobody but “the right” “Republicans” win – by any means necessary.
Over the last 15 years, many former Republican officials and campaign operatives have tried to warn America, written books, made speeches. Some have written that, in order to save American democracy, the current “Republican” Party “needs to be burned to the ground” and documented why.
Many have said the current “Republican” Party is now a CULT. An evil con man, with a long history of playing by his own rules, of numerous bankruptcies and legal issues, of several thousand lawsuits, has told several millions what they want to hear, promised to give them a miracle. It was he who created the circumstances of January 6, 2021.
The Committee has produced evidence that this con man has scammed his followers out of over $250 million to supposedly “prove” his own lies>
It isn’t just the evil, the greed, the cruel selfishness of Donald Trump that scares patriots who’ve testified against him several times. It is the gullibility of so many good Americans who’ve trusted him, accepted his obviously false lies.
No historical villain has ever done his crimes alone. They’ve all had enablers and accomplices; had followers who became “true believers.”
A democracy is built on truth, must have truth to operate and survive. One of Trump’s biggest crimes is he’s brought the very concept of “truth” into doubt. The other BIG crime is he’s trashed the very idea of “democracy,” made a mockery of it.
Donald Trump is a cancer. He’s infected America with a fatal disease – one that not eradicated will kill us. He’s not Hitler, yet. But he is like Hitler. 37 psychiatrists and mental health experts contributed to “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.” Trump failed the Army leadership test. He’s exhibited what some label “sociopathy.” White House personnel sought to limit the damage he could inflict. Some believed he was mentally deficient. Otherfs in his presence said they were scared by him.
Even now, with much more damning evidence to be heard – the task for people who care about American democracy should be very simple. Do what your ancestors did after the Civil War, what they did after the Great Depression – vote against the party that led America into those tragedies.
No “Republican” who supports Donald Trump, or his ideology and lies – should ever again be elected to ANY office in these United States. People in Congress, who ran for their lives and then voted in favor of the CON MAN – should be retired. Same for any “Republican” who spouts his lies, supports his DELUSIONS.
For 40 years, the “Republican” Party has become more reactionary, more destructive, more anti-democratic, more cruel, more corrupt. As long as this group has. ANY. power, America can not, will not, be a “democracy.”
The evidence is right in front of YOU, has been there, ‘IN. PLAIN. SIGHT. o
