He says in Salon, “Ultimately, if Garland refuses to act, future history books will forever connect him to Trump’s coup attempt. Such hypothetical accounts may observe that after a defeated president and his confederates attempted to overthrow American democracy, the nation’s top law enforcement official declined to hold him accountable — and that led directly to the collapse of democracy and the rise of a fascist regime. … The framers of the U.S. Constitution personally understood the dangers of kings and their tyranny. Trump and his fascist insurgency represent exactly the type of authoritarian force that the framers rejected. What will King Trump do if he (or another younger and more vigorous aspiring monarch) returns to power in 2024 or thereafter? Like the kings of old, the Trump regime will pursue violent retribution against everyone they believe has wronged them. Those who laugh at King Trump now are trying to find safety and comfort in gallows humor. It will not be enough. Such laughter will not save them.”
DeVega is my man! Preach. I basically quote the beginning and ending paragraphs of his article because I think they sum up his points well. First, AG Garland is worthless. Although this is not the article’s primary subject, I appreciate that he and I are on the same page with Garland when everyone else seems to have faith in him and believes him to be working behind the scenes. But let’s face it, shall we? Garland is not going to do anything to hold traitor trump accountable because recall my First Axiom of politics: Traitor trump ain’t going nowhere!
Second, ignoring traitor trump is dangerous, which Garland and many others are doing. In short, there are still believers who think traitor trump is a buffoon who has revealed himself as such during his presidency and since the insurrection. Consequently, his ineptitude precludes him from being able to win in 2024. This, of course, is non-sense. There may be a perception that he is losing control and influence over the GOP, but that is an illusion partly because he’s not the president. To be sure, the minute he declares his candidacy — and denying he will is itself a dangerous illusion that reinforces my prior point — his influence will return in force and unequivocally. He will be a formidable rival for Biden, and given America’s stupidity and fixation on the price of gas, they are more than willing to give the traitor another chance. You may not have democracy, but gas will be slightly cheaper. Ugh! I can’t! Welcome to stupid America!
