Trump showed himself as who we feared him to be

This week we — and the world — recognized who Donald Trump has always been, and what he and his party have done to our country.

The good thing about Republican senators letting him off the hook after impeachment is that we’ve come to see how right Rep. Adam Schiff. D-Calif., was when he predicted it. And we’ve learned the price of that party’s descent into insurrection.

Henceforth, barring an unlikely return to conservatism and respect for the Constitution, today’s Republican Party will be remembered as the outlaw party. The party that chose a racist, xenophobic, lying bully, sex predator and scamming, tax-cheating “businessman”; and, for four disgraceful years, condoned his contemptuous spurning of the law. That chose authoritarianism over constitutional governance, that embraced Trump’s attempt to delegitimize a fair election that Joe Biden won decisively. (It wasn’t Trump’s election most Democrats contested: it was his subsequent criminality.) The party that considers any vote not for them to be fraudulent; a win by any Democrat, anywhere, to be, by definition, illegitimate. Whose claims of election fraud have been debunked, their legal arguments dismissed as ridiculous; who didn’t care and kept pushing, right until — and for some, even after — Trump’s riot.

What’s the constituency, other than the psychopath-in-chief, to whom those refusenik R senators and representatives were playing? Violent Proud Boys; the cult of Q-Anon; domestic terrorists responding to Trump’s call to “be wild” by storming the Capitol; the millions of Trumpists (including tens who write to me) who, believing his hallucinatory claims of massive fraud, repeat the disproved “evidence” as if it’s implanted in their brains; not by Bill Gates’ vaccines, but through the neurotoxicity emanating from rightwing radio, internet and TV.

1. I agree. Mama.

Our credibility on this has been well-established by any left who doubted it.

drumpf's red army will not see or accept it. They need to be shunned, shamed, traced, and cordoned off from civil society. I believe their numbers are and will shrink, but they will never go away completely!

We can do this! There are more of us than them...
