The Former Guy is a toxic waste dump (twd)
FARESPITHE THOUGHTS ON WHAT JUST ONE PERSON CAN MOTIVATE TO DESTROY
(FARESPITHE stands for faith, religion, spirituality, theology: “fare” like fair; “spithe” like with)
Even Secret Service agents were calling members of their families to tell their loved ones they might not make it home alive, even asking them to call other members of the family on their behalf! That is the level of sheer fear because of the level of severe violence that had already resulted in seeking-to-do-more-killing-violence insurrectionists roaming inside the Capital building, with the primary targets being Speaker of the House Pelosi, and Vice-President Pence, who those thinking-they-might-die-soon Secret Service agents were guarding with the expectation and training that they must do so with their lives if necessary.
Those agents had heard the chants of “hang Mike Pence”, and likely had even seen video of the gallows hauled onto the Capital grounds, which most everyone presumed was precisely for that purpose. Someone, though I do not remember who, said it would have been a virtual decapitation of the government with the killing of Pence and Pelosi had they succeeded in their violent goal! For no certification of the Electoral College vote could have taken place for days, if at all, since the toxic waste dump (twd) would have likely not appointed a VP for days or even weeks, and then only someone he knew would do as he told him to do, all the while staying in power! twd has been quoted as saying that maybe Pence deserved it since he failed him, not doing what he wrongly claimed he could have done to keep him in power as president.
It has been an axiom for as long as I have been alive that so many eligible voters think and say, “I’m just one vote and one vote can’t make a difference, so why vote?” Thus many do not vote. That has never been as true as claimed! John Kennedy won the popular vote by just 112,827 votes, or 0.17%. That is a 1.5 vote average per voting precinct win. Yes, that election was one of the closest ever, and perhaps it is the exception that proves the claim that every vote matters, but in every election there are very close races. And the fact that so many recent elections—even presidential elections—have come down to narrow margins and recounts, and even challenges of recounts, even one vote could actually make a big difference. Yes, one person can make a real difference in elections—and in the reality of a nation!
Yes, one person can make a tremendous difference in an election—or in any attempt to destroy an election—or a nation—if seeking to serve only his own evil, gargantuanly-grotesquely-godawfully-greedy-vicious-vile lust for power! And that, for all of us with rational reason that enables us to observe actual factual reality is precisely what twd was seeking to do with his massive lie; his calls to bully state officials to find non-existent votes, or to declare votes invalid; his lawsuits to do the overturn vote counts; his supporting fake, false, fraudulent slates of “alternative”, illegitimate, illegal electors; his call for violent militias to come to DC and his incitement of the resulting mob to violence, and his refusal to do anything to stop that mob once they became violent regardless of who was hurt, killed, or seriously injured, and his supporting that mob by demonstrating it was doing precisely what he wanted it to do by refusing to stop it for over 3 hours, all the while calling Senators seeking to bully them to stop the certification of the Electoral College vote when it resumed—even thinking with witness testimony that he said his own handpicked VP deserved to be hung—even obviously hoping that Speaker Pelosi would also be killed. ONE PERSON can motivate a mob to seek to destroy a nation—ONE PERSON can seek to destroy a democratically elected republic of nearly 250 years designed to defend and protect the authentic freedom of every one of its citizens—ONE PERSON can cause the deaths of many and the injuries of hundreds—YES, ONE PERSON CAN MOTIVATE OTHERS TO DESTROY way too much! Heinous Hitler did it! So many other individuals have done it! Putrid Putin is doing it right now! And so is twd ! Yes, in my decided opinion, he most definitely deserves to be put in that same category of evil!
This one person believed and acted on only his own individual belief that he was above any law other than whatever law he invented to serve only him! This one person acted as if he is more important than this nation, than its Constitution specifically designed to prevent any one person from ever ruling as an autocrat, a dictator, or a king! This one person ignored every other person begging him to stop the violence because he was acting within the definition of a psychopathic sociopath thinking he alone should keep power and rule as he alone decided to rule! This one person thought he should and could destroy this nation to keep power!
Yes, dear readers, that is the authentic, honest, real, true, deeply evil and severe reality we have experienced and are still experiencing with twd ! That one person has motivated all of this! Oh, sure, he had many accomplices—so many it is seems bizarrely unbelievable to those of us who are authentic patriotic lovers of the authentic freedom we want to see experienced by all persons. He will likely even claim it was those accomplices who planned it all, executed it all, while he was merely a background supporter of their strong wishes to see him remain president so that he could serve their deep desires, hopes, and needs as only he could and should. No one should believe such silly, irrational nonsense, but we all know too many will—and any is too many—even one is too many! That those accomplices have been duped is because they have been willing to be—and/or because they sickeningly, perhaps even with a sort of mental illness, tragically crave what they think he can give them—an irrational, irresponsible freedom from all restraint—which, of course, is not authentic freedom in any way, shape, or form—and which, of course, even he cannot give them regardless of what he claims and promises!
As was said by Congresspersons, and by 3 Generals and 4 Admirals in a NY Times op-ed on 7-22-22, all of whom have taken the oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, twd violated his oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, and demonstrated dereliction of duty and responsibility of office by his actions to incite, and then do nothing to stop, a violent insurrection as it caused the deaths of several and the severe injuries of hundreds! As was said, as I embellish a bit, he deserves to never—absolutely not ever—hold any office whatsoever in this country ever again!
As was also said, we cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation!—because truth that demonstrates the actual, factual reality that any person has tried to destroy this nation’s Constitution based freedom of voting to elect its president and have those votes legally counted and certified, and has also motivated others to seek to destroy this designed-to-be-free nation by that Constitution, is unquestionably essential to sustain this nation so it remains, and continues to be for as many years as possible, a free nation with a peaceful transfer of power!
Love, grace, hope, joy, compassion, peace,
