Michael Goodwin: Dems' War on Ex-President Donald Trump is Without Precedent

Unfortunately, I think this is basically right. The other side of the story is well-known--Trump's anti-Presidential demeanor, his erratic words and actions that contributed to his loss, and his unhinging after that loss, setting the stage for the Capitol riot. No sense in going on about the no-win situation we found ourselves in, and will find ourselves in again if Trump runs in '24. Trump doesn't belong anywhere near the Oval Office. But the Dems have become so abjectly unhinged that, IMO, mitigating the damage they can do by minimizing their power has to be job one in American politics. Trump's policies are decidedly sane in the main--better than merely sane. Downright good. It's Trump that's the problem, not his policies. OTOH, the Dems have been taken over by a radical, irrationalist, anti-Western, anti-American, pseudoscientific cult. They've managed to maintain some kind of superficial demeanor of politeness where it matters...mostly separating their public faces from, e.g., the sexual mutilation of children and the burning-down of American cities... So was can have that thin gloss of normality and civility...at the cost of catastrophically insane and destructive policies that include more than one that's likely to wreck the American economy. (Trans)gender ideology, BLM+CRT and their cognates and adjuncts, climate apocalypticism...madness... And now they are turning the USA into a banana republic by implementing a two-tiered system of justice in which Republicans are prosecuted to the full extent of the law--and beyond--whereas Democrats and Democrat-favored groups are given a pass whenever possible.

   Madness, madness, madness.

   Though, in closing: turns out Trump was right about Wisconsin... Right yet again. His main virtue really is: he's about 5% as loony as the progressive Democrats running the other side. Loony though he is...
