Trump going out a traitor committing treason

Outgoing President Trump is not leaving office quietly January 20. He did not use Thanksgiving Day to give thanks for the blessings of American democracy and constitutional government. He doubled, tripled, quadrupled down on his claim he won the election, tho he lost decisively, by 6,160,000 human votes and 74 Electoral College votes. He said it would be a mistake for the Electoral College to certify Joe Biden’s election because Biden prevailed due to “massive fraud from crooked officials in battleground states”. They weren’t just crooked, they were “communists and enemies of the state”.

These are not the ravings of a bitter loser in private. They are a call to action for his 73 million voters to overturn the election. It’s working. They’ve created ‘Stop the Steal’, a campaign holding protest events nationwide. Sixty members marched in Chicago on Turkey Day, including Remy Del Rio Gonzales, president of the Chicago chapter of the Proud Boys extremist organization. ‘Four more years’ was the battle cry.

Trump said he’ll never accede to the election results if forced to leave office, which he laments appears inevitable. But if he had an epiphany and conceded today, the damage has been done. He’s dragged much of the Republican Party down into the mud of treachery and treason with him to ensure the Biden presidency is de-legitimized. Tho not mortal, it is a grievous wound to the fragile American political fabric from a traitor to everything our democracy should represent.

Enemies of the state, Mr. Trump? Look in the mirror.
