Relegating Trumpism To Its Proper Place

TRUMP SUPPORTERS have taken over the Republican party, and the actual republicans are in hiding, longing for better days, increasingly fearful of coming out. It now begins to seem as if the ultimate destruction of Trumpism will require an rejuvenated Democratic Party, a large coalition of progressive groups and minorities, to save the country by removing Trump and his supporters from power, and relegating them, as it were, to the dustbin of history. The real republicans don't seem to have the stomach for it. You Trump supporters will be familiar with the expression "lock her up!", of course, since you've spent the better part of three years screaming it, with no relent in sight. Now, imagine Hillary, having won the election, as president. Imagine her in Trump's situation, in particular, being investigated for over a year by a former FBI Director, for possibly having accepted Russian assistance getting elected. What would your reaction be? Would you still be shouting "lock her up!" ? You would, and you know it. How could you not? You would be perfectly convinced of her guilt in conspiring with the Russians to win the election, and you would be ready to not only lock her up, but to execute her as a traitor. And you wouldn't have the slightest hesitation about shouting it early, often, and repeatedly. So, why aren't you chanting "lock him up!" at Trump? Why has your sense of equal justice under law left you? Don't bother trying to fabricate some half baked, twisted answer. We all know why. The answer is that you have no class, no sense of fairness or decency, no sense of justice. Your political viewpoint trumps (pun intended) both your patriotism and your morality. That, dear Trump supporters, is sick and disgusting. But, all is not lost, oh dear right wing nut jobs. There is yet time and opportunity to change, to reform yourselves,, to become the fair minded decent citizens you surely must once have been, perhaps as long ago as early childhood, before the twin infections of religion and right wing politics warped you. Merely accept the fact that there has never been the slightest reason to lock up Hillary, much less bring charges against her according to due process, which you wouldn't understand anyway, and admit that the way matters stand now, there may very well, depending upon future developments, be more than one reason to lock up your leader, the Donald. In the event that there are not, Mr. Trump will deserve credit for having failed to engage in criminal activity, just as Hillary already does, and always has.
