Not dammit this has gone too far. Mark Meadows the Chief of Staff for former President Donald Trump, Trump President Mark Meadows, Chief of Staff, and a bunch of lawmakers sending Mark Meadows, text messages, giving him ideas, ways that he can actually violate rule of law, overthrow the US Constitution, dismantle democracy and violate the sentiment of the everyday voter. Listen, Mark Meadows was in a position to actually lead. But he decided he was a feckless leader. By entertaining some of these ridiculous and extreme text messages. I know there’s an analysis out there to break down who sent the text messages. I’m not bringing it down to who I will tell you that we’re all Republicans, every single one of them, Republican lawmakers, and some non lawmakers like Ginny, Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, all of these individuals were texting, Mark Meadows, calling Mark Meadows to overthrow the United States government. If that does not frighten you, if that does not get you to at least a conclusion that says the Trump regime was bad for the nation. If you are still a Trump supporter, after the revelation of not only Donald Trump himself, but his own chief of staff and other lawmakers across this country, were willing to engage in an actual overthrow of the United States government. If you don’t think that is problematic, you are the problem, you are part of the absolute problem in this country. Now, if you’re like me, if you believe in a particular political ideology, I’m left leaning, you may be right leaning, you may be in the middle, Hale, you may be more left than me, that’s fine. Whatever your political ideology is, that is part of the back and forth the push and pull the cause and effect the hand and glove that is part of the process of an active open and functional democracy. But when you lose an election, when you lose a political outcome, that does not give you the license, to then change the rules, eliminate the rule of law, to violate the sentiment of the everyday voter. Once that starts to happen. We are now in the territory of dictatorship. Once that starts to happen, we have become something worse than what we currently are. If we say this is a country, by the people, the people have to say so the final word, the conclusive thought, If we say that, we cannot also say that when the people disagree with one political party, or when the people disagree with one political candidate, or elected official, that somehow those in power can transform the rules. This is not the American way. This is not the potential of America. Now, I will be the first admit, first to admit I’m critical of this country, this country is ugly, and beautiful. At the same time, this country has amazing potential. But falls short of that potential Daly. This country is a great place for opportunity, and also a great place where opportunity can evaporate for the least of these. But even with all of that, I would never, never advocate to take your voice away. Just because you disagree with me. I will never invalidate your elected official, just because mine did not win. You see, there was nothing final about democracy. Let me put it this way. There was no finality in democracy if you do it right. Because democracy always grant you another opportunity to do it again. It’s called voting. It’s called advocacy. It’s called civic engagement. This is how we transform a nation to become a reflection of the nation that we want
