Tim Barrus: New York Times
How courageous does it have to be to not vote for a ruthless, hateful, deeply disturbed despot. Some. Not a lot. Trump is looking scared. He should look scared. When he’s gone from the White House – one way or another – it’s going to all come at him like a trainwreck. Trump is going to need his cash to pay the legal fees. And Trump does not have a good record of winning in court.
And he knows it.
Republicans put him here. Even today, with all of the significant unrest, they are responsible for putting him front and center. We must hold them accountable. For the whole nine yards. For history. We are going to be known as the What Happened To Them chapter of historical record. Future generations are going to be nothing less than asounded. Republicans are more focused on pretending they have a vision. They are blind. They are stumbling in the dark chasm of contempt for anyone who stands up to Trump. He will not leave the White House.
He will nullify the election. Republicans will enable and stand behind him. The country will go to outright war. Trump will celebrate in the chaos.
Democracy does not face ruin. Democracy is ruined. Republicans have turned it into rubble. Republicans must be compelled to strongly stand in Trump’s way. He is a coward. We know that.
America must be compelled to reconstruct and reinvent itself. Trump will be there with his violence, and Americans will die in the process. It’s time for a civil war that never ended. Courage.
