Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Looking ahead…

All of us here on Dissident Politics pay pretty close attention to the ongoing political news.  I like to think of such as “a continuing soap opera for news junkies,” aka “As the World Stomach Turns.”  Okay, enough joking around. Here comes the serious stuff:

Regarding the ongoing investigations of the 1/6 Committee, new revelations are really piling up now, hitting the airwaves fast and furiously.  Like a bank account, these revelations seem to be compounding/snowballing daily, with some 475 witness interviews (according to one of the committee members), back and forth memos discussing ways to subvert the Electoral College count, phone calls, White House meetings to discuss the tactics of a coup, fake EC electors, contemplating the seizing of voting machines, preemptive pardons by Trump if he gets re-elected, and I can’t even remember all of the nefarious antics now coming out.  You almost have to be a recluse (or At the Mall®) to not be aware of what was going on in that buildup to the Jan 6th insurrection.  And the hits just keep on comin’. 😨

From these revelations, it’s looking more and more like Trump was quite involved in helping coordinate/mastermind the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.  Wow.  The idea of a previous U.S. President being sent to prison seems like Twilight Zone material. Things like that just do not happen, here in “the shining city on a hill” America.

When all the facts finally come out, if the DoJ finds that Trump was indeed at the forefront of these activities, doesn’t he have to be held accountable in some way? Can we let such subversive activities stand, with no repercussions?  Many rioters have been jailed. If they can be charged with sedition, shouldn’t the mastermind(s) of such get the same punishment?  Wouldn’t that be the fair thing to do?

And what happens if Trump is sent to prison?  Will even more violence ensue, and attempts at more corruption be the result? 

How does this all play out??

Give us your thoughts on any of the above.
