As we prepare to watch former President Donald Trump address his second indictment in as many months, one must consider the ultimate effect surrounding the support or rejection of the quantifiable masses towards his persecution or accountability.
The law is predicated upon public sentiment therefore the masses usually win.
Yet what is the quality of the heart in those protesting Trump’s indictment and calling for “justice?” Are these supporters willing to honor history in the form of Critical Race Theory or are these masses in denial of what might offend their “snowflake” sensitivities in being “made uncomfortable” with the nation’s story: slavery, American apartheid, mass incarceration, police brutality and legal malfeasance against Foundational Blacks?
Is the call to meet and pack on June 12th in Miami a response to being “made uncomfortable?” The law is being applied to the former president although perhaps not equally to the current one concerning retained, classified documents. Still, the indictments were issued under Constitutional law.
Will the supporters of Donald Trump observe the contradiction in their “righteous” outrage while ignoring the justice claims inextricably woven in the history of the descendants of Foundational Black Americans? These patriots are protective of the Constitution and Trump, yet selfish with a child-like fervor in defending what benefits “their American” cause.
Public sentiment and mass gatherings do sway legal opinion. Trump’s ardent supporters and fans might ignite the passion of justice smoldering in their eyes, but they fall short of seeing themselves within the larger context of a country watching selfish hypocrisy with baited breath.
Trump may prevail tomorrow or at his next indictment in a few weeks or the one following that, but the cleansing pattern of attack or erasure being foist upon him and his followers by Biden’s Department of Justice wreaks of Clorox and not vinegar.
