The People Got What They Deserve

By Jim Tweed, Ocean City

To the Editor:

Oh Kumbaya! I finally found common ground with all those who voted for Donald Trump to be president of the United States again. First, we can all agree that he won the election. Second, Kamala Harris did not spend the last two and a half months whining and lying to the American people that she really won. And third, since it was a free democratic election, the American people will get the government they deserve.

For those citizens who feel disappointed that a majority of voters chose as their leader a demagogue who believes that the rule of law does not apply to him, your duty now is to bear witness to the consequences. And remember. For history’s sake.

Stay awake as the herd nods off, and avoid evidence of an insurrection that happened before their very eyes. Listen to the wind that blows constantly from the mouths of all those pretending that traitors are patriots. Don’t fall for the false equivalencies, like convincing you that their retribution is the same as real justice.

And stop thinking about Donald. Entertainment is his game. He knows what he’s doing. Also, don’t waste your time trying to convince your friends and relatives who have slid down the rabbit hole of self-delusion. This election proved Mark Twain was right when he observed: “It is easier to fool a man, than to convince him he has been fooled.”
