Stopping Trump

I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE SAID: "Actually, we won the election." Turns out, I found out, he said "Frankly, we won the election". Of course, it doesn't really matter. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. He said it in the very early morning hours of November 5, 2021. About one thirty, I think it was. Maybe you heard it the moment he said it, maybe later.Either way, the fact is, no matter hwo you are, the very moment you first hear Trump utter this infamous remark, you knew it was a lie. There was no doubt in your mind whatsoever. You knew it was a lie, and you knew that you had a choice to make, a choic which had to made immediately. Once made, there would be no turning back. We all made our choices, and we all live with the moral consequences of our choices, even if we don't know it or pretend not to. But make no mistake. There is not a single human being on Earth who actually believed what Trump said, then, or now. Nobody is that stupid, not even Trump supporters. That's why the situation is so tragic and sad. I submit that Trump's "Frankly, we won the election" are the most harmful words in American history, maybe the most harmful ever spoken. The roughly seventy five million people who chose wrong and jumped down the rabbit hole with Trump and his big lie are now stuck with both. They can never shed the burden of their deliberate, immoral choice. They had their opportunity, saw it, seized it, and must now own it, as they have done, are doing, and will continue to do. Perhaps a few of them, a small perentage of MAGA folk will, eventually, in the fullness of time, abandon ship, jump overboard, and swim to shore, claiming innocence. But that will happen much later, when it no longer matters, when the history books have long since been written and plausible deniability exists. For now,the rest of us, thoes of us who are not morally and intellectually bankrupt traitors are left to wonder whether Trump will try to illegally remain in office the rest of his life, like he tried to once before. Being a dictator for life has long been his ambition. His ambition, we have learned, has the full support of all MAGA. Trump planned the whole thing in advance. According to Ivanka Trump, two weeks before the 2020 election, her father said to her: "No matter what happens in the election, we'll just say that we won. Fuck it". Enough said. More than enough. Trump's big lie led directly to a violent insurrection which killed several and injured many at the Capitol building, a nearly successful attempt to overthrow the United States government, just as he planned. His entire seventy five million member movement aided and abetted the insurrection, fully approving of it, disappointed with its failure. Most MAGA members still insist that Trump's big election lie is not a lie, that the election was stolen from him and them. They know better, of course. They've known better all along, from the beginning. And now, now that they actually are in charge of the government, they are indeed overthrowing it, changing it more and more everyday, making it nearly unrecognizable. It is being remade into a fascist dictatorship, with all power concentrated in the hands of a single fascist dictator. This is no exagerration. We are donfronted with an immending, approaching disaster, the desturction of the American democracy. And that s why we the people must stop at nothing in or opposittion to Trump and MAGA, and must fight them with ever renewed vigor, until Trump and his terrorist mob have been utterly defeated and destroyed, and relegated to the proverbial dust bin of history, by any and all means necessary.
