She may have been a Trumper / Trumpster / Trumpist / Trumpublican / Trump loyalist, but still this is sad that because of Trump & his Trumpublican allies in the GOP, her family (husband and children) are now without a wife and mother. And I'm fairly certain that Donald J. FUCKING Trump doesn't give two shits or a fuck about anyone who has been hurt or killed, arrested, etc. This should be the wake-up call that Republicans (both in public office and the civilian populations across the United States) have needed since day one of Trump's "presidency". Or at least, that's what many of us with a conscience have wanted. Many of us on the left had long suspected something like this might occur during Trump's questionable "leadership" during his time as president, but what we could not predict was whether an incident like this would make some people realize the errors of their ways.
We, the 81MILLION Biden voters, thought that something like this incident MIGHT be the turning point, or at least I personally hope it will be. If this doesn't fundamentally change the GOP in short order in terms of their ideology, nothing will.
For the record, I am aware of Mitt Rodney's statements, Loeffler's statements during the Senate's reconvening session, as well as others among the Republican & Democrat former presidents, former Trump advisers & aides, etc who have denounced, and condemned, the violent confrontational insurrection attempt at the Capitol building on Wednesday.
Unless real sweeping reforms are made, until those who "stormed the castle" as it were are all facing felony charges including sedition and/or treason including his Orangeness Donald Trump, and until Donald Trump is charged with Crimes Against Humanity along with insurrection and treason against the United States, I doubt this will be the last time we see an incident like the assault on the Capitol building Wednesday afternoon happen to this country. In truth, Congress needs to nip this shit in the bud, and do it NOW! Not after Biden is sworn in. Not after Trump, by law, is ordered to leave the White House!! No! He needs to be removed NOW! Pence along with the cabinet members must invoke the 25th Amendment, or Congress must impeach Donald Trump again, & this time the Senate must vote to convict him as well.
WHEN Congress does this, Trump will have the DISHONOR of being the 1st president to have been impeached twice, and within his one and only term. That, in itself, should be way fucking disturbing, albeit a necessity after the events of the Capitol building assault unfolded on Wednesday January 6th, 2021!
Trump is a national disaster, a national disgrace, a national embarrassment, a national fucking tragedy, a national security threat, a national threat to democracy & freedom, and a major insurrectionist, seditionist, traitor, & overall scumbag who has not only violated his Oath of Office multiple times, but has actively committed treason with the hope of securing his power for an indefinite time. He must be brought to justice, be held accountable, charged with multiple counts, including the willful death of one of his supporters, reckless endangerment, incitement to riot and violence, endangering public duly elected representatives in both houses of Congress, and much more.
The sad part is this: I don't believe the Republicans in the House of Representatives nor the United States Senate will change their positions. Nearly all of them have basically sworn an allegiance to his Royal Orange Majesty, the Orange-In-Chief, the Orange 🍊 Shitstain 💩, the sack of Orange shit, Emperor Orange 🍊, etc.
No, the Trumpublican GOP party has nearly all bowed their knees in allegiance to their Orange King of the GOP. And they'll gladly do it again if they can be so easily brainwashed by any sovereign foreign adversaries. If our elected representatives can be so easily manipulated by either someone like Trump, or by some foreign adversary during an overseas trip, then we ought to figure out a way to defend against itself.
The bottom line is this: Trump emboldened his supporters by spewing nonsensical conspiracy theories, fabricating "alternative facts", and tried to orchestrate a fabricated reality in which up was down, left was right, day was night, telling people something was black when you knew damn well it was white, and used his platforms on social media to give his supporters a voice for their hate, their bigotry beliefs, their xenophobic behaviors, homophobic attitudes, racist behaviors, religious beliefs that were laced with hateful shit, and much more.
There's no room in my heart for forgiveness when talking about Trump & Trumpism. He has damaged the country I grew up to love. He has damaged our democracy. And while it's true that Wednesday's incident could have ended much worse, even ONE LIFE being taken is one too many in book! Her death is on Trump! Her blood is on his (tiny) hands!! Her blood is also on the hands of the Republicans who still believe Donald Trump's victory was stolen from his Orangeness
Until all of them are brought to proper justice, and not "vigilante" types of justice, there will be another "Trump" down the road, willing to destroy the very fabric of our United States, or at least will try to tear it apart with their reckless disregard for their supporters, for Americans all over, and will disregard human life altogether.
And I'm afraid it will also be within my lifetime.
