A Plea Or Two
A peaceful future comes down to this

I ask this in all seriousness: Trump supporters, are you thinking at all about just who and what Donald Trump is; what kind of people have undertaken the same actions and offered the same comments as he has done so routinely for all these years? Or are you so content to think that you finally have legitimate authorities “fighting” on your behalf that the “how” simply does not matter?
What process allows you to ignore the warning signs about how deranged, corrupt, and dangerous Donald Trump is? Lashing out as he has been since being indicted in New York makes it quite clear he is in full-blown panic. A legitimate tactic would be to offer well-reasoned, fact-based criticisms of the laws being applied against him. Not happening!
The latter approach is well within his/anyone’s right to challenge evidence. Lashing out suggests something else. Donald Trump is in a big bind of his own doing. Rather than taking a measured, rational approach to defending himself as almost every other innocent person would do, his increasingly wild and unhinged efforts suggest someone unfamiliar with the concept of being held accountable for his actions. Welcome to our world, Donald. Your past has at last caught up with you.
Who will pay the price: Trump and his minions, or the rest of us?
