People have done horrible things in the name of Donald Trump. I hope that we have learned our lesson.
I think it is more racism than a personality cult. Black Lives Matter was on the cusp of winning another round of legislation, which the radical racists could not tolerate. Trump is one of them, and the only way to keep the status quo going was to be keeping Trump in power. All for an insurrection that would only buy them a few hours? As it turned out, they lost planned protests of several more states so the delay was about a wash?
At least it makes the issue clearer.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
