In the U S infections are over 23 million and over 384,000 deaths.
Unfortunately many people across the nation have no desire to be vaccinated against
covid19 unless they feel they are at risk of dying from the virus. This will only help
spread the virus even more, because a lot of people will be carriers of the virus if
hey aren't vaccinated. This decision is being caused not just by followers of Trump, but
those who want to believe weird conspiracy theories about government plans to
implant tracking devices by injection. Then you have those who just don't like the idea
of vaccinations, thinking they cause diseases.
I will be surprised if enough GOP senators have the guts to convict Trump, even
after he has left office. Doing so would allow a vote to prevent him from ever holding
office again. A vote only requiring a simple majority. Already GOP senator Grhamn
wants to forgive Trump because he is afraid Trump's supporters might riot again. This
man should hang his head in shame for ignoring his oath of office, and resign.
-People should never follow any person, group, or media that encourages people to
break the law, cause damage to property, or injury to others. In fact you should see
this as a obvious reason to run away, because anyone or group who supports bad
acts, are being led by criminals, no matter what they claim. Following them will only
lead you to nothing but misery.
Reports are that most GOP members of congress are afraid to do their job, fearing
for themselves and their family. This is why they voted no for Trump's impeachment.
Now I am not going to tell these people to put themselves and their family at risk, but
if they can't, they should resign. Because allowing criminals to intimidate them
to not do their job, means they have no business doing the work of government.
Just imagine what our country would be like if criminals were allowed to make laws
and do anything they wanted.
I think most of the rioters who attacked the capital, were misled by Trump and others,
but this is no excuse. Laws must be enforced or we have nothing but anarchy. So
even though some of these rioters are usually good people, they must be held
accountable for their acts. Though Trump has said we can't allow such acts to go
unpunished. It would not surprise me if he pardoned them all just before leaveing office.
After all he said late that day that he loved them.
Apparently he is worried about being unable to run again, because he is still claiming
he had nothing to do with the riot, in hopes this will prevent a conviction in
the senate.
I think it's time the moderate members of the GOP worked to create a new conservative
party. A party that truly believes in law and order, and leave the political cowards behind. I
think it's past time we ignore the supporters of the far
right, and white supremacists to their own dirty work. I think there is enough good
people left in the GOP to support a new party as long as it continued the conservative
values we had many years ago. Values that supported a strong middle class instead
of one who only supports the richest 5% of Americans.
It would take a lot of work, but even minorities would support a party that considered
the rights of all Americans, and work to eliminate racism in law enforcement. Also I
think there are other policies they could support once the radicals are eliminated.
Time will tell, but us old no Trump republicans can hope.
