To be a Republican right now is to put one man above your country.

It’s to be in total opposition to democracy itself, and specifically, one that allows Black people equal voting rights.

What we're seeing is an embrace of fascism. We can never let anyone whitewash this era.

This was not just another Republican President. This was not just a moment where "both sides” were polarized.

This is a moment where one side of the country, gaslit into a false reality by one man and his propagandists, turned against what America is supposed to stand for.

We can’t sugarcoat this. We can’t beat around it. We need to call this era what it was and hold the people who enabled it accountable.

These were people who shamelessly, disgustingly, abused their power and influence with complete disregard for the consequences of their actions.

We can be gracious to those voters and Americans who later admit they were misled, but we have to be merciless to the “leaders" who engineered this.

They need to be held accountable at the ballot box and through whatever legal means apply to their given corruption. Never again.

I’ve always understood bad people exist, but the only parallels I had for millions of people rejecting reality & embracing an evil leader was in history or comics books. Then came Trump.

I have never witnessed someone so devoid of a conscience.

Trump has no line he won’t cross.

As I reflect on the past four years, I wonder what Trump would have done if our laws, media, institutions, and ultimately the voters didn’t stop him?

I mean, what would he have done next if we didn’t stop him at child separation? All I know is I'm glad we'll never find out.
