Now You Own It All, Republicans
By voting to acquit Trump, you now own his every crime, his every lie, his every cruelty, his every act of corruption.
For the past three years, we have heard rumblings from your side of the aisle, mutterings of your “pResident’s” statements being “unfortunate”, his actions being “inappropriate”, his inane outbursts being something to be laughed off, instead of admitting they are demonstrative of his total unfitness for the office he holds.
Your vote to exclude witnesses and documents from Trump’s trial was appalling enough, as you chose to ignore the Constitution, the rule of law, and the will of the people in order to keep the truth from being exposed.
But with your vote to acquit, you went a step further. You chose to not only excuse a “pResident” you know to be corrupt, but to embolden him. And you did so knowing his future behaviour will be even more egregious than it has been to date – the consequences to our country and our democracy be damned.
So now you own it all – not only everything Trump has done in the past, but everything he does in future. You own traumatized children in cages, dictators being praised, racists being honoured, citizens living in fear as they realize the criminal in the White House has now been strengthened in his resolve to put his own self interests above that of the country.
You now own every malicious tweet, every lie told, every action that harms our nation, every law defiantly ignored, every act of revenge taken against political adversaries, and every insane utterance that comes out of your “pResident’s” mouth.
When you voted to acquit, you not only condoned Trump’s treasonous acts, you became complicit in covering them up – and as further crimes against the American people are revealed in future, you will own all of that, too.
There is no coming back from what you’ve done, no excuses you can make that can possibly lessen your own guilt, your own complicity, your own willingness to ignore your oath of office in order to exonerate an immoral liar who has done everything in his power to undermine our democracy, and the institutions that protect it.
A word of caution here. You’ve been told that this is just another scandal that will be forgotten within weeks, just another news story that will be a faint memory by November.
If I were you, I wouldn’t comfort myself with that thought. No one is forgetting anything – and there are millions of us who will make sure they don’t.
