Complaining isn’t enough: how do we win in 2024?
Because it’s a day that ends in “Y,” Donald Trump has been indicted again.
This time, a prosecutor in Georgia has targeted the former president with 13 charges surrounding a supposed conspiracy to steal votes and overturn the 2020 election.
This adds to other charges across the country, including allegations of false accounting to cover up a payment made to a porn star, illegally holding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, and inciting what Democrats seem to believe was the worst moment in American history: the January 6 riots.
Good news: one more indictment and Trump gets to choose between an Amazon gift card or a three day, two night trip to Orlando, Florida.
Now, many things can be true at once here.
First, this is obviously a partisan witch hunt against Donald Trump. If his claim of fraud following the 2020 election lands him in jail, then his cellmates should be Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, and every other Democrat who denied Trump won in 2016.
Check out this video from RNC Research showing Democrats denying Trump’s 2016 victory for 24 minutes if you don’t believe me…
But we already knew that Democrats are corrupt partisan hypocrites.
Pointing that out isn’t a strategy.
Yes, it’s wrong that Trump is being charged with alleged crimes that would be ignored (if not celebrated) if he was still a Democrat. But politics is dripping with things that are wrong, and yet things don’t change unless we change them.
So this raises the obvious follow-up question: what happens in 2024?
