Democracy under attack

Because you've never seen this before you don't understand what's going on.

America, this is how you overthrow democracy. First, you take over the capital, and you plant bombs, and you have a president who interrupts the final step to replace him, and he says, 'I'll never concede.' Then you incite chaos hoping the people ask for you to remain in office to maintain order, or you hope to spark severe violence and attack the state.

The chaos is a test to see if you can convince enough supporters to run into the streets. If they don't you can always pull back, because you never admitted to what you're doing. If you don't admit it the "enemy" may not think to organize a defense. But friends of democracy you must stand to its defense today! Don't be mistaken. A defense will be necessary because what you are watching is nothing short of a slow and inept coup.

Trump has disgraced the Presidency for the final time and in the lowest manner possible. He is a traitor to this nation. 

The coup started before he knew he lost. He started by advancing notions that you couldn't trust the results of the election. He then threatened lawmakers and election officials to change votes. He asked for protestors to get wild in the capital and then they stormed the capital and interrupted the final ceremonial vote to replace him; meanwhile, saying he'd never concede.

He has done unfathomable damage to our country. And to the world that looks to us for inspiration. 

Trump has forfeited his right to rule this country.  Justice demands he be impeached again.

Looking back history would have regarded Trump as nothing more than a failed one term president, who'd rather golf than lead. Instead he has secured for himself the infamy of immortality by becoming the first president to ever attempt to subvert the American people and refuse a peaceful transfer of power. 

History will certainly remember you now, Donald Trump. It will remember your cowardice, your vanity, your mendacity, it will remember the 350,00 lives lost on your watch, it will remember your pathetic apotheosis of despots, and tragically it will remember that you took the first shot at our democracy.

This great country, founded on the principles of Liberty and equality has survived attacks before. The sedition of slave holding southerners, the viscous attacks on Pearl Harbour, the terror of 9/11. It has persisted against those odds because the spirit of this country is dedicated to the proposition that all of us are created equal.

Donald Trump you have fought in vain today and you have lost. Democracy has triumphed today. We did not go down your path to absolutism. A government for the people and by the people SHALL persist and we shall not let it perish from this Earth!
