The part where he said his trial was rigged was where I got really worried.
He is taking every possible opportunity to dismantle the foundation of this country for his own self interests and his “lock her up” cult followers are eating it up. They believe him over the facts, precedents, science, and laws. They believe these universal truths are “rigged”.
Meanwhile, his own appointed judge is presiding over another of his cases who may actually be interfering with it.
I’m pretty open to taking a step back and looking at things from both sides. Your political affiliation doesn’t explicitly mean you’re impervious to propaganda or brainwashing. Although, it’s apparent one group is more weak minded and unbothered by the larger scope of their actions. I find these people to be immoral and self-righteous and disgusting and I’m embarrassed as an American to be associated with them. It’s not easy to be comfortable with strangers out in public these days.
I genuinely believe most of us mostly want the same things. Corporations and politicians have divided us and created the polarization for their benefit. We have to even the playing field. We need Ranked Choice Voting. We need to fund elections exclusively with tax payer dollars.
So, the silver lining I’m hoping for is that after this inevitable civil war, we can make elections truly democratic.
