Lessons That The Trump Mob Taught Us

Sunday, January 17th, 2021

My Dear America:

I can't Lie.  What happened in the United States Capitol Building on the afternoon of January 6th scared the hell out of me.  I have thought of little else for the past week and a half.  

We have been truly violated by the members of the Terrible Trump Brigade who felt that they had the freedom to Ransack the Capitol Building in the name of the "Big Lie" that Republicans allowed Donald Trump to spread far and wide following the Election in November.  Thanks to the decent people (Many of them Republicans)  who ran the Presidential Elections in every state in the Country we ended up with great vote counts and recounts and an election in which the winner was clear.  The winner was Joe Biden despite the strongarm attempts by Trump to kill or maim the United States Post Office and spread Election lies throughout the country.

Joe Biden clearly won the election and thanks to Republican officials throughout the country who counted ballots fairly Biden's win was evident to everybody in America except Donald Trump and his followers.  Realistically Donald Trump can count also.  He knows full well that he lost the election but even at this late date Trump continues to refuse to admit his November Election Defeat.  

Certainly it does not stand to reason that all of Trump's voters were too stupid to realize that Joe Biden won the Presidential Race handily.  But clearly some of them, after listening to Trump's continuous Whining and Lying about the Election, really did believe that Joe Biden unfairly stole the Election from Trump.  Clearly the only Election robber was Donald Trump and thanks to his clear exhortation to his followers who answered his call to join him for some "Wild" times in D.C. on January 6th, an overwhelming number of Trumpers broke into the Capitol and went on a Violent Rampage.

There was only one reason that Trump's Criminal Goon Squad attacked the Capitol.  It was because Donald Trump told them to.  Thankfully many members of Trump's Shock Troop Brigade have been arrested thanks to their maskless photos (Clear and Brilliant Photos all over Social Media.) I guess they have never heard of the FBI and Face Recognition Capability.  

Quite Frankly, the fact that there were so many people willing to put themselves on the line to raid the Capitol for Trump due to a baseless lie is most distressing.

What we are now hearing from leaders of countries all over the world is how shocked and concerned they are about what is happening in the country that has for many decades been the De Facto leader of the world for so long.  These World Leaders are well aware of Donald Trump's deficits but like all true Democracy Loving Americans The World Leaders can recognize quite clearly how bizarre and deadly this situation might be not only for the United States but also for the world.

We are truly lucky that only five people died and none of them were Congress People, as a result of the Raid by the Trump Mob.  It was very bad but It certainly could have been much worse

On January 6th the shit clearly hit the fan and its reverberations have been felt around the world.  Even now Chinese officials are pointing out that America has no right to criticize Chinese Civil Rights Violations when some of our President's followers have shown themselves to be nothing but a Goon Squad.   

We only have a few days to go before what should have been and always has been a peaceful transfer of power in the middle of January.  Hopefully we will see an Inauguration free of violence and terror.

I can't wait until Joe Biden takes the oath of office and Donald Trump flies off to Mar A Lago hopefully for the rest of his life.

I will never understand Donald Trump's appeal to members of the Republican Party who have always been believers in Democracy.  Wake up, People before it is too late and get on board the Biden Train on its way back to Normal Freedom and Democracy.

Hopefully with Trump locked off Social Media the madness might decrease.  I know that I will be trying my best to write about something other than Donald Trump in the coming days and years.  The topics may be less exciting and more boring but that will be Okay with me.

Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher
