Congratulations to my fellow Americans who elected a felon for president of the United States. Felonies are the least of Donald Trump’s dishonest behavior. Remember Jan. 6, how Trump tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election, and instigated people to shout, “Kill Mike Pence” (his own vice president)? Only third-world countries do crazy things like this. We are better than this.

We can see how Hitler got the Nazis to commit genocide. They followed the Nazi cult, just as politicians and other Americans are following the Trump cult. Donald Trump once said he could shoot a man walking down Fifth Avenue and get away with it. He is right. He has gotten away with instigating others to murder. Several people lost their lives on Jan. 6.

Have Americans forgotten the history of Trump? What kind of person would sit and watch Jan. 6 unfold on their TV and do nothing? What kind of person would continue to spread the lie that the election was stolen from him for the last four years?

What really scares me about this election is that half the American population believe in him and voted for him. What does that tell you about our fellow Americans? What are they capable of believing? God bless America.
