An Interesting Take: By Benjamin Whitney Winthrop Shallop

Benjamin Whitney Winthrop Shallop

As much as it pains me to say it, I must admit that I prefer there be no witnesses in the Senate Trial. Better this farce be blatant than to lend it any shred of credibility. 

No amount of witnesses or evidence will ever convince the Republicans in the Senate to stand up to this tyrant and do right by their country. I could opine on the reasons why....cowardice, racism, corruption each could be explored in great detail, but the end result would be the same: they will not only not act against a tyrant, they will gleefully cheer at the fall of the Republic governed by the rule of law and the rise of a dictatorship governed by the whims of a narcissistic psychopath. Given the foregone conclusion it is blatantly obvious that any witness, any real exploration of evidence, would only serve to legitimize this monstrosity...and I have no desire to legitimize any of this. Let it be shown for the farce it is.

This is not to say our Republic is dead, just that it is critically endangered. Whether or not the Republic is dead will be up to all of us this November. It’s not enough to vote, you must volunteer, make calls, knock doors, donate to organizations that get the vote out, register voters and do everything you can to actively engage in the democratic process. Do everything you can to ensure this Orwellian Cliche and all his enablers are defeated come November or hail Caesar and kiss your Republic goodbye....there is no middle road.
