6 of 17. Trump's Conviction
Where do I start with Trump's conviction? Well, how about I start in 2016 when the Democrats were saying that locking up your political opponents was the epitome of evil and anyone who did it was clearly Hitler. Now, Donald Trump never actually locked up Hillary Clinton, as far as any of us can tell he never even tried. In interviews he says that for the unity of the country he decided not to. But you know what happened after that? A bunch of prosecutors ran for office saying explicitly that they would if elected lock up Donald Trump. And unlike Donald trump, they tried to follow through on their promise.
People have come up with salacious descriptions of what Donald Trump was charged for, that's not really accurate. Ultimately, what he was charged with is mislabeling a line item on an accounting ledger. Mislabeling a line item on an accounting ledger is typically not even a felony on it's own, it's a misdemeanor that is outside of the statute of limitations, but the attorney general in New York found a way to make the fact that he mislabeled line item on an accounting ledger into a felony because he's the president, and that the statute of limitations didn't apply because he's the president.
A lot of people are cheering for the conviction of Donald Trump, and I think that those people should really think about what they're cheering for. Back in 2016, people correctly said that it was not good behavior to be locking up political opponents, but apparently losing a single election is enough to throw all morals and ethics and principles to the wind.
The left are deeply hypocritical. They all cheered when Trump was arrested and convicted of trumped up charges, but supported violent riots for 6 months in opposition to police. Everyone saw it, and nobody believes it was actually the good guys in action except for extremist monsters or people who don't see individuals as worth anything so it doesn't matter if innocent people are harmed in pursuit of the platonic greater good.
I wonder if the same people who cheer for Donald Trump's arrest over having the wrong label on an accounting document and happily call him a felon would cheer the same as Nelson Mandela was arrested? Do they happily call Mandela a felon? It seems to me like these people will hate whoever they're told to hate, so I'm sure that the answer would be yes if they were told to.
I have a personal hypothesis that this railroading of Donald Trump helped him with the black vote. Black voters don't like crime, they hate being harassed by police and railroaded into convictions they feel their family and friends didn't deserve. Seeing a presidential candidate harassed and railroaded like they saw their friends and family being railroaded in my estimation is part of the reason why a historic 26% of black voters are now saying they're interested in Trump.
