The great man of letters and compiler of the first English language dictionary, Samuel Johnson, is credited with proclaiming, “Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.”
That’s the mindset of the entire Republican Party. Facing annihilation, Republicans have put aside their differences for the time being and are rallying behind the presumptive nominee of their party, Donald Trump, after his conviction in the hush money trial.
I’m not sure whether President Biden is using the powers of his office to try and destroy the Republican Party. He’s talked about the Republicans being a “threat to democracy.” When queried about it, Biden claims to only mean MAGA supporters.
Well, Mr. President. We are all MAGA today.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), no friend of Donald Trump’s, said “These charges never should have been brought in the first place. I expect the conviction to be overturned on appeal.”
That remains to be seen. Any damage done to Trump’s chances to win back the presidency pales in comparison to the damage done to our republic. “Holding Trump accountable” has morphed into what appears to be a vendetta. Democrats and Biden have talked themselves into making Trump an existential threat to democracy based on nothing but their own hysterical, paranoid fears.
