Re “Impeachment looming, Democrats urge Pence to help oust Trump” (Jan. 11): A cult of personality” results when someone using media, the big lie, patriotism and organized demonstrations creates a heroic, idealized image mandating obedience and praise from the cult. In other words, Donald Trump.
Last Wednesday Trump proved himself a danger to democracy. He helped organize the rally to stop the congressional confirmation of Joe Biden. He directed and told followers he would march with them.
Trump and his cult must be stopped. Impeachment is a start but we need more. Public humiliation? Significant jail time for inciting his followers to riot?
