As Donald Trump sailed toward the Republican nomination this winter and spring, at his political rallies, speakers and supporters paused to honor the imprisoned “hostages.” These hostages are the men and women arrested for storming the capitol in January 2021. The former President has barely touched the campaign trail, as his attention has been diverted by the four criminal trials brought against him. This has elevated him in the sight of his supporters, who see the one-time reality star as a political martyr in the hands of an unjust political system. We have to note the hypocritical irony of how the Democrats and media that once gasped when Trump threatened to “lock her up” when he ran against Hillary Clinton in 2016 have now made him the target of the very strategy he promised to employ against his political opponents.
To address the rising tide of resentment and division in America today, the Democrats have propped up President Joe Biden for reelection. Rather than stepping aside for more capable contenders, the doddering commander-in-chief has refused to let go of his grip on power.
In a discouraging sense of poetic justice, the system’s corruption has ensured that an aging candidate who appears to be struggling both mentally and physically is guaranteed the Democratic nomination. This will lead us to a rematch of Trump vs. Biden, a sequel that no one seemed to want, but neither can anyone walk away from.
