He Did It, So What?

I'm at a loss for words today, so I'll share what the host of the My Randomology geek site wrote.

Remember where you were on this day, when a president elected without the popular vote, a man who is the walking embodiment of pride and greed, a man who has cheated on every one of his wives, a man who created a humanitarian crisis at the border, a man whose entire legal defense was "Yes he did it. So what?" was acquitted by what should have been a check on the power of his office, and instead showed the deeply broken and corrupt GOP for what it is.
A cult.

Imagine a Democrat doing ANY of the things Trump has done. They would be kicked out of office and lambasted by their own party. It happens all the time. But Trump?

He is beyond reproach. Beyond the law. This should frighten all those conservatives who yelled for years that you have to respect the law or face the consequences. Their true colors are on full display for the world. But it won't. Why?

They laugh as they claim they're winning and triggering when all they're doing is exposing their child-like worship of authority. It's never been about law and order. Or faith. Or decency.

It's about control and cruelty. Never think otherwise.

Stop playing with kid gloves. Stop trying to win them over because you won't. Trump supporters are literally too stupid to see that the authoritarian nightmare they complained about for years is here, and it's the guy they're cheering on.

Get these fascists out of office. Every last one of them. If someone tries to excuse why they support Trump or those who enable him, walk away. They know why they do it. Some of them at least try to hide behind flag and country and an appeal to the better nature of America because some part of them that's human understands what's going on.

But they know who and what he is. Don't let them forget where they stood today. Ever. They don't get to wash their hands of this.
