Politics at the End of the Trump Era
Is It Revenge or Justice That I Want?
I want justice, and I want the rule of law to have the bite of a tiger. But if that feels like revenge to Trump and Trumpism, so be it.
It’s time for the bite of the tiger, people.
It’s time for the principled adults in our country to stand up and take actions that demonstrate that we’ve had enough of Trump and Trumpism.
It’s time to let Trump, his family, the Trump state media, Trump’s sycophantic enablers, the white supremacists, Proud Boys (et al.), and Trump’s fellow political authoritarians around the world know we’re not going to let this assault on our democracy go unpunished.
When Michelle Obama said, “When they go low, we go high,” she didn’t mean that we should turn a blind eye and ignore the bad behavior of those who would mistreat us.
She meant that we respond appropriately to all misbehavior, not that we ignore it.
The high road must include justice, because as attorney Glenn Kirschner explains on his YouTube channel every day, “Justice Matters.”
