Sooner or later, oppression will be destroyed in the U.S.

After Capitol riots

Donald Trump committed the most egregious and treasonous crime in the history of American politics. And yet again, he got away with his cruelty.
During Trump’s 2016 campaign, he famously said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. The remark seemed foolish at the time
Time has proven that remark spot-on. Trump himself didn’t shoot or attack anyone on January 6th. What he did was worse. Much worse. He incited thousands of people to do that on his behalf
Many politicians wanted him to control the riot, but what did Trump do?
He told the rioters:
“We love you. You’re very special.”
Trump’s Acquittal Speaks Volumes About The Fragility Of Our Democracy
Five people lost their lives because Donald Trump and his heinous henchmen incited an insurrection against the United States government. At least 138 police officers were hospitalized.
Trump is the only federal official in United States history to have been impeached twice. Fortunately for him, removal from office requires a two-thirds vote in the U.S. Senate. Both times he was impeached, his party of sycophants, hypocrites, and traitors protected him.
In a healthy democracy, a fascist authoritarian like Trump would never have sniffed electoral victory. In a quasi-healthy democracy, someone like Trump couldn’t have gotten away with the litany of crimes and misdeeds he committed. Trump should not have escaped justice and accountability for inciting an insurrection against the government.
I have said it before and I will say it again
If the law is not enforced for everyone, one should not expect the crimes to be repeated.
I live in a country where instead of enforcing the law, only political expediency is considered.
I learned from reading history that oppression may reign in a country for a long time, but the day will come when it will be destroyed.
