The Ledger
What have we become?
After watching the assault on the Capitol, I wonder what we have become. It is evident to me that many people love Donald Trump more than they love this country and what it stands for. This whole episode was instigated by the president of the United States. How disgusting.
Watching TV, I was struck by the idea that I was watching a coup in a banana republic. Voltaire once said: Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
It s time for Trump supporters to decide which they love more: our country, which has given them everything or Donald Trump who, in the final analysis, has given them nothing.
