The next presidential election is still almost a year from now, so we’ll have to wait a considerable length of time to see what happens. This is good news for the media, though it’s the equivalent of a disease for the mental health of most Americans, and folks around the world.
That said, let’s examine a key data point that will be informing voters’ decisions. Over the coming few months, it will become clear, even to most of Trump’s current supporters, that the former president attempted to overthrow the U.S. government via his conduct after the 2020 election, leading up to and beyond the J6 insurrection.
We will be exposed to mountains of evidence, including testimony from dozens of witnesses, that Trump was–and continues to be–engaged in a grossly illegal attempt to maintain power by overturning the results of a free and fair election.
Yes, there will be those who will still be impressed with Trump’s swagger as a political strongman, just like the sheep in the cartoon, but it’s unimaginable that he’ll be reelected after being proved to be a traitor to his country.
Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.
I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)
Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
“Republican Patriots” writes: Howard Stern once again reveals the contempt so many in the entertainment elite hold for everyday Americans. He claims not to hate President Trump himself, but openly declares his hatred for those who support him, calling them stupid and saying he has no respect for them. This kind of arrogant dismissal shows how out of touch these Hollywood types have become with the hardworking people who built this country.
I’ve got news: contempt for Trump supporters is hardly limited to “these Hollywood types.” The vast majority of Americans–especially at this point–are neither greedy pigs nor hateful morons. We respect human rights and rule of law.
