The Real Reason Why the Persecution of Trump will Stop Now
There is not a President in US history that has faced more impeachments and political prosecutions than Donald J. Trump. Ford pardoned Nixon and even the Clintons, despite their many crimes, never faced a criminal prosecution. The now President-elect was the first former U.S. President in U.S. history to be criminally indicted. The left was determined to do anything to keep Trump from regaining power, and Democrats used impeachment, civil cases, as well as criminal prosecution to keep him from trying to return to the White House. The Democrats failed. Still, despite the left hatred for Trump as high as ever, the Democrats are eerily silent about any future attempts to prosecute or impeach the President-elect. Most Democrats also refused to comment on Jack Smith’s recent decision to drop all charges against Trump as well.
With the US Attorney moving to dismiss the case against the now President-elect for election interference and the sentencing in the absurd New York case delayed indefinitely, the criminal cases against the President-elect are over. There is also close to zero chance any of these cases would be pursued against an 82-year-old former President as well.
The fact is that even though Americans are frequently told that the popular vote doesn’t matter, this is not true. One of the reasons Democrats wrongly felt comfortable attacking Trump as racist was that he didn’t win a majority of the vote in 2016. The left would not dare call the American people racist or an existential threat to Democracy, and with the now President-elect getting less than a majority of the popular vote in 2016, many of the people who despite Trump felt falsely emboldened to endlessly attack and smear him. The Democratic party can no longer attack the President without also taking aim at the American people, since this country has now elected Trump twice, with him winning the popular vote this time by nearly 2.6 million votes.
The left can no longer complain about how the electoral college is rigged, they can’t refer wrongfully refer to Trump as a rapist or criminal. The Democrats know that any vicious and personal attacks on Trump at this point will be correctly perceived as also being an insult to the American people. The President-elect has silenced the Democrats by not just winning, but by obtaining a decisive victory. While Trump’s win obviously didn’t match Bush’s landslide in 1988 or Lyndon Johnson’s huge victory in 1964, the President-elect, his win was bigger than 4 of 7 President’s election wins, including Biden’s in 2020. Trump also received the seventh-highest share of the vote for a President who was out of power since 1932. In an era where the country is fairly evenly divided and most elections are closer, Trump’s win was a big one, and he without question has a mandate to pursue his policies and get the country back on track.
The Democrats would likely not have felt comfortable impeaching or indicting Trump if he had won the popular vote in 2016, since the President-elect’s popularity would have made those moves much more politically risky. With Hillary winning the majority of votes, the left-wing leaders felt they could attack Trump and the MAGA movement without offending most Americans. Those days are over. Trump’s agenda is one the majority of the country supports, and the Democrats can no longer persecute the President-elect without alienating an American public that rejected the pathetic Democratic party and what the left tried to offer them. The fact that the President-elect won the popular vote will likely end the attempts to continue to persecute him both now and in the future.
