Well, let’s examine this.
The president of the United States claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was “rigged” in favor of his opponent, and convinced ~70 million voters that this was true.
On January 6, 2021, he encouraged a large group of angry supporters, many of them armed, to “go to the Capitol and fight like hell.”
The ensuing riots did massive amounts of property damage and injured 174 police officers.
For more than three hours, the president watched the mayhem as it was broadcast on live television.
1575 people were criminally charged in the attack, 1270 of whom were convicted in various federal courts.
When Trump was re-elected in 2024, he pardoned all but 14.
At the conclusion of all this, nine members of congress, seven Democrats and two Republics, formed a committee to investigate.
Now, as shown above, some Trump supporters want these nine people to be criminally charged.
If you think this is just, and you call yourself a patriotic American, you may want to rethink your position.
As always, the Stoics have nailed it.
This does raise the question, however: What actually is out of our control?
Does the individual American citizen have any control over whether or not a sociopathic criminal remains in office as the U.S. president?
Very little, but we still have the obligation to raise our voices and tell our congresspeople that Trump must be removed.
Here’s a good reminder of how the United States is regarded today.
No, it’s not how like it was just a few years ago when we were a land of law, and we had allies all around the countries that supported honesty and democracy around the world.
Now, the leaders of Canada, Panama, and Greenland all fear for their safety, and the world lives in fear of the insanity into which the U.S. has descended.
Hardcore Trump supporters are having a great time watching their hero illegally invade other countries and commit whatever moral atrocity he performed the day before.
The rest of the world is in shock over the fact that Trump has turned this country into an authoritarian state.
It’s easy to understand the thinking of the lady in the cartoon here.
