When Winning Is Perceived As Justifying Anything

To them (the rabid right), winning the presidency was more important than who won it, or how it was won. This was illustrated by a gentleman at the gym (of course, a white, aging male, like me), who told me that he didn’t like President Trump, either, but had realized it was the only way to win.

People like him – and most of the Trump base – see their alliance with Trump and his off-color, profane, irredeemable statements, actions, and beliefs as akin to the United States alliance with Russia during WW II: simply a necessary evil that must be tolerated at all costs.

That is why nothing that he did, does, or is going to do is of any interest to them. Winning, to them, is more important than the cost to our freedom and liberty. That is why they will simply have to be walled off by a towering structure of truth, integrity, and positive actions, like what was done to the Soviet Union,
