Reconciling Views On Trump

IN THE PREVIOUS ESSAY, below, I presented an argument in favor of giving Donald Trump a chance, in favor of giving him multiple chances. And yew, I would want him, or anybody else, to do the same with me, for me. But there is a difference in givng a person a chance to play better tennis, for instance, and a chance to stop trying to steal elections and overthrow the government. Simulteneously, I have joined and am now as "All STar" contributing member of a Facebook group called "Donald Trump Will Be the death of Our Country".It has, so it says, about thirty one thousand members. The stated purpsoe of this group is the impeachment, removal, conviction, and incarceration of Trump. Its members aren't always up to the task. It seems that every time I suggest that we go seriously about the business of advocating strenuosly for the fulfillment of the group's stated purpose, members come pouring in responses that it cannto be cone, that it has been ried and has failed; even to the point of calling my aims, and me "delusional". One verbally challenged lady even slandered me horribly by calling me "dilutional". I responded that it is she who is "dilutional", for she is diluting th epurpsoe and effectiveness of the group by casting serious doubts on its chances of success. She vanished,and, probably best for her, hasn't been heard from since. Perhaps she went to look for the dictionary which I suggested, bitingly but accurately, that she badly needs to find. Yes, I believe that Trump can indeed be impeached, removed, and incarcerated, for incitement to insurrection, for which there is no statute of limitations, but probably not before the mid terms in 2026,and most assuredly not unless the Democrats take control of Congress at that time. Very well then. We can spend the next two years inundating the nation with a veritable avalalanche of facts, not gratuitous insults but facts, including facts aobut what Trump does or does not do during the first two years of his new administration. We certainly have an abundance of material to use, even before he takes office in Janaury. We can do better than make fun of his hair. So yes, we need to give Donald Trump a chance; a chance to succeed, and a chance to fail. He is much more likely to do the latter, since his agenda includes highly questionable and dubious components, such as deporting eleven million people and using the Department of Justice to wreak retirubtion, vengefaul, retatalitory retribution, upon his perceived enemies, enemies which indlude perfectly innocent and legitimate people such as Joe Biden and Jack Smith, among others, whose only crime was the pursuit and prosecution of justice, by due process. Trump seriously intends to so greatly epand the powers of th presidency undr his leadership that he oviously wants to become an authoritarian figure, with the complete apparent support of his MAGA cult mob of supporters. Donald Trump, as alwys must be stopped.He has already failed before, n manyw ays, but to stop him now he must be given a chance to either succeed or fail. It he succeeds we who despise him must at least consider the possibility of reversing course, and supporting him, as unlikely as that evantuality seeems or has ever seemed. And so, I, and presumably we the many millions shall continue to vigorously, relentlessy strive to destroy Trump, while also giving him a chace, to either once again prove, as he has so many times, that he deserves destrutcaion, or that our relentless crusade against him is unjust. Based on recent history, there can be lttle doubt about which will manifest, about which course of action will deem itself necessary and prudent. Either will suffice.
