It's hard for anyone capable of rational thought to wrap their head around all this.
"If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," Trump squeals.
I would ask Trump believers: Aren't you tired of this broken record already? Fighting like hell for what exactly? What is Trump asking you to fight for? Specifically? The country? The country isn't facing jail time, he is. Trump is asking you to obstruct justice and law enforcement for him. Doesn't that concern you even a little bit?
Think about what's happened in this case so far. We won't know what charges Trump will face until an indictment is issued, but it appears he might have paid off an adult film star with whom he committed adultery using laundered money to buy her silence during a presidential campaign. Both Trump's former attorney and chief financial officer have already pleaded guilty and gone to jail. If the evidence shows that Trump was also guilty, shouldn't he be held to account? Yet he is asking you all to fight and circumvent the justice system for him, to create such chaos and unrest it will lead to a horrible civil war. He is using you to keep him from facing justice.
It worked out so well for those Jan. 6 rioters. So now, more people are willing to go to jail for this guy? So far, every Jan. 6 rioter sentenced to jail has expressed regret for what they did. Is that what this next bumper crop of agitators wants?
