13. Inconceivable.

Dec 9

Since Trump left office in 2021, I had considered it inconceivable that there would ever be a set of circumstances that would allow him to get back into power.

We long debated whether he would ultimately be imprisoned for his crimes or whether he would just live out his life a bitter, beaten, sick and pathetic old man. But we took satisfaction in knowing that our younger generation and people all around the world would finally get to see the ultimate result of what happens in the United States of America to evil, corrupt, criminals like Donald Trump.

The election didn't just damage our reputation, it destroyed our national integrity.
