No matter the strength of the evidence in the multiple indictments in which this man is named, he is assumed innocent until proven guilty.
So, let’s put aside the four criminal cases and 91 felony counts he faces and instead look at some of his actions as President.
As President, this man:
- Knowingly lied to the public about the dangers of the COVID-19 virus.
- Regularly praised anti-democratic and authoritarian leaders around the world.
- Equated the moral character of neo-Nazis with the people protesting neo-Nazis.
- Welcomed interference from foreign governments into American elections.
- Refused to accept the results of a free and fair election even after sixty court cases, and his own attorney general stated the claims of election fraud were bullshit.
- Sat idly in the Oval Office for nearly 3 hours as his supporters attacked the capital building and assaulted police officers.
Even if you believe this man is innocent of the 91 felony charges, he is demonstrably guilty of being a shitty human being.
I’m unsure why millions of Americans refuse to look at this man’s lack of ethics and morality and continue to support him, but my gut says it’s human behavior.
Admitting Trump is a shitty human means admitting you knowingly voted for a shitty human, which reflects poorly on you. So, to avoid the embarrassment of your vote and inability to judge a person’s character, you turn a blind eye to all that orange shittieness and hop on the “What About Hunter Biden” bandwagon.
A president or presidential candidate’s lack of character threatens the republic only when voters are unable or unwilling to judge that character.
Until Republicans discover their character and admit politics blinded them to Trump’s lack of morality and that they were conned, America will continue to teeter on the abyss.
