Donald John Trump is a traitor to the United States of America. Make no mistake this statement is not hyperbole. He is the President so the sentence is viewed through a different lens and people on the right and the left with will view the sentence with trepidation and doubt, as if my words are going too far. However, as ever on Etch The Edges we seek to adhere to what is factual and how people’s opinions with regard to those facts inform our polity and impact our politics. On this issue there can be no mistake. He fomented rebellion in the nation’s capital putting our elected officials in mortal danger. Because of his actions five people are dead. The cult of personality that he created where he speaks in the third person of himself and declares he can commit murder on the streets of Manhattan, consign children to cages in concentration camps, and grab arbitrary women by the pussy successfully stunted the critical cognition of nearly half this nation, such that 70 million people still voted for him in the last election. This is how Hitler came to power. The comparison is appropriate. This is why so many people did not balk at men in the crowd wearing t-shirts that said 6MWE, Six Mills Wasn’t Enough. This destruction of compassion and rationality cast Air Force Veteran Ashley Babbitt her life. This Is The One About Donald John Trump, the American Traitor, because that is what he is.
