Looking at the J6 insurrection under a different lens, we might conclude the former’s role qualifies as an act of treason. If we can agree that the rioters were actually enemies of the state spurred on by the former’s incitement to violence to keep him in power, that meets the definition of treason. The intent was to overthrow the government and illegally install the former as the rightful and only true leader. The crowd sought to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power by violence which by any stretch of credulity is the attempt to overthrow the government.

While we can take comfort in the indictment of the former, the charges even if resulting in conviction are not sufficient to prevent the former from not only seeking office but serving if elected. There is a growing fervor in the country to dismantle our democracy. With little regard for what type of country might emerge, the aim is to completely overthrow the existing form of government.

The former has given aid and comfort to the enemy by promising pardons, by declaring that he will pay their legal fees, by embracing them as true and loyal patriots.

The former has established himself as an enemy of democracy. He has established himself as being determined to undermine all institutions which protect and preserve our democracy. He is undeterred by social mores and legal constraints expecting that his reelection to the presidency will allow him a free pass and immunity from any and all prosecutable offenses.

Remember that all his protestations regarding bad acts by his rivals are actually roadmaps to what he is doing or planning to do. While it is incomprehensible the hold that the former has over his devotees it is nonetheless a reality impenetrable by any bad acts by the former.

Should he be re-elected to the presidency there are no constraints on his actions. He will be free to not only wreak havoc but to allow our enemies a foothold into our freedoms. He has no allegiance to anyone or anything. His only goal is to make money and if you believe that he cares about your well-being consider that if you are not white and wealthy you have no value in the new universe.
