A Pox on Bragg: We All Are Trump Now
The American Spectator ^ | April 4, 2023, 12:22 AM | DOV FISCHER

One of the many great tragedies prompted by the reported indictment of the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, is that so many conservatives now are forced to step aside from engaging in the exciting run-up to the GOP presidential primaries for the 2024 election. Despite the exciting lineup of choices to kick out Biden and Kamala, the order of the day now is to close ranks behind Trump.

Except perhaps for Andrew Johnson, no man ever has been as persecuted — and unfairly so — from the moment he entered the presidency. Johnson was a quirk of history. He was a Southern Democrat from Greenville, Tennessee, who joined as Republican Abraham Lincoln’s running mate amid the Civil War. Andrew Johnson never was supposed to be president. However, secessionist John Wilkes Booth murdered Lincoln moments after the Civil War ended, and suddenly the victorious Northern Republicans found themselves led by a Tennessee quasi-Dixiecrat. They never accepted him, made his life miserable, impeached him for a non-offense, and came one vote short of convicting him.

Other than Andrew Johnson, no other president has been so persecuted, demonized, and tortured as Donald Trump. He is too strong to say “They are torturing me.” So I will say it. This is unbridled torture, outside all bounds of behavior in American history. This garbage is why America ends up with so many mediocrities like Biden and Kamala leading our country into quagmires — because truly great Americans decide: “I don’t need this.”

True. Or most Americans are not willing to sell their souls to get the gig.

"I am Spartacus."

Part of me wants to join you: "I am Spartacus."

Another part of me can't shake the notion that Trump is our era's Emmanuel Goldstein.

If Trump is today's Goldstein, who, I wonder will be Trump's Atticus Finch?

And, if each of us is Spartacus/Goldstein, who will be our Atticus Finch?

Yeah, imho the pubs can’t roll over on this one.

they have to completely stick it in the eye of the democrats.

the way to do that is for every not trump republican running for office to bow out.
