You would think, considering how many other countries they’ve helped to destabilize over the years, that America would be aware that rather than allow the leader of a violent coup back into power as though nothing had happened, that the option to prosecute it to the fullest extent of the law is one that is available to them. And yet…THIS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY MUST BE CERTIFIED
If I didn’t know this was a satirical item from McSweeney’s, you could probably convince me it came straight from Democrat HQ. It would be so great if just once these people took literally any action to prevent the threats they talk on and on about and not just roll over when things get serious because someone on the other side of the aisle who will go out of his way to stonewall them at every turn might get a sad. Of course there’s room for morality and civility in politics, but there’s a time for that and a time for acting as though you possess even the slightest hint of a spine. Making tough decisions in the interest of your country is hard, but it’s also literally your fucking job.
For years, we Democrats have been reminding you that Donald Trump is a danger to democracy and a scourge on our nation. His election back into our highest office is a terrifying, perhaps fatal turning point in American history. He will bring about a backslide from which we may never recover. But what is most important right now is civility. Propriety. Politeness. Today, we’re taking the high road—the one that leads directly off a cliff. This dire threat to democracy must be certified.
Four years ago, this man incited an insurrection. He attempted to thwart the democratic process, to overturn an election. We must never forget what happened that day, no matter how many ways he bends its truth. We must tell of its violence in our history books and teach of its blight to our children so it may never be repeated. Except today, when we need to come together and agree on one thing: That guy should be in charge.
