Three thoughts today and a list.
The first one is that I actually think cults are pretty cool. I’m not saying death cults or exploitation cults but the cult of loving your spiritual tradition, is is kind of devotion to me. Devotion is good so I don’t really I’m not really into Saying that Trump‘s cult has put down
Every little resistance and hatred of the opposition is being filed in my head is something that potentially a conservative or a right wing person would feel when there is a left-wing or in office. I don't think there's an equivalency, Trump is an outlier, I'm thinking Reagan, Bush, Bush, Clinton conservatives, not Trump.
I’m really tired of “this might” happen. There’s so much sort of culture war trying to create space BS so this might happen that might happen. This might happen, that might happen. I’m getting really sick of it. I just really wanna hear what has been accomplished, blocked, or rammed through despite the people's wishes. How misinformation has been fought.
How the American systems failed us:
The supreme court overruled Colorado taking Trump off the ballot. States were not allowed to take him off the ballot. Colorado didn't vote for him anyway. Maybe only states that are controlled by Democrats would have taken him off the ballot and he would have remained on the states he won anyway.
Education: People allowed manipulation of information to take root in their minds. People imagined Trump was worthy of being president, didn't introspect enough to see how they were just bored and wanted to wreck up the place some.
Attorney General: Dropped the ball obviously. Merrick Garland is synonymous with shitty attorney generals who couldn't get it done.
Spiritual communities: We haven't educated our communities enough to avoid this outcome.
Citizenship: People imagined him to be worth voting for, the American people didn't provide the fail safe.
"A federal judge (and Smith) only agreed to dismiss the case because Trump won the election in November and prosecutions against sitting presidents are against long-standing Justice Department policy." Huffpo
Basically he ran to avoid prosecution, and America didn't notice or care enough.
