2/ that all is *not* forgiven, and that the Rule of Law indeed survived their reign of immoral selfishness and stupidity. Only the Trump family’s vacuousness and rank ignorance saved the Republic from ruin this time. Waiting in the ranks are
3/ many with the same allegiance to White Supremacy, self-dealing and dangerous faux-populism but with the sophistication and training to pull it off, tapping into the same rancid sewer of Americans who supported Trump. Only, more effectively.
4/ They need fo see Trump, his family of thieves, and even, if the evidence supports it, members of Congress in prison for there to be any hope of deterrence. This is not the time to “bind the wounds” or “move on”. In these circumstances, that’s capitulation and the easy way out.
5/ This isn’t Watergate. This National Nightmare will most definitely not be over until there is a detailed and clear reckoning. “Moving on” from this is putting a Band-Aid on a septic infection that will only get worse, and probably kill its host.
