What is America and where is it headed? Land of the free? Home of the brave? A democracy governed by people for the people? You betcha.
Unfortunately, the brave people aren’t free. The democracy doesn’t care about you and me. Regardless of your political alliance I think we can agree. These facts aren’t hard to see.
For years the divide in America has continued to grow. Egos and personal feelings overshadow what is actually important. Whether you’re Republican, Democrat, Communist, Nazi, Black, White, yellow, or purple. It shouldn’t matter. You should be able to see what the trials on Donald Trump and Karen Read represent.
If you’ve been celebrating the guilty verdict of 34 felonies against Donald Trump. You are anti-American. If you’re waiting to celebrate the guilty verdicts, including 2nd degree murder charge, against Karen Read. You are anti-American. If you agree with one but not the other. You are the worst type of anti-American. A delusional hypocrite blinded by your own ego. Or you simply hate America and what it is supposed to stand for.
Your personal feelings shouldn’t prohibit you from seeing these blatantly obvious injustices. Aside, from being a professor, I don’t know anything else about Karen Read and I’ve never been a fan of Trump. His voice made my skin crawl long before he entered the political sphere.
These two trials are significant and relevant to each other for two reasons. First and foremost, they are both clearly sham trials. Secondly, they serve as a potential common ground for any and all Americans.
Felony: a crime, typically one involving violence.
The conviction of 34 felony charges is quite alarming. I don’t condone adultery. Nor can I understand Melania not being enough for a fella. But 34. Really? How many convicted felons would you know if adultery or paying a whore were felonies? 🤔
2nd degree murder: an intentional killing that was not premeditated.
The prosecution’s decision to charge Karen Read with 2nd degree murder is a blatant display of arrogance and power. Unfortunately for them, their decision unveiled the corruption that exists. Manslaughter, which is killing someone without intending to, MIGHT have been believable. There is a clear lack of evidence to even prove she did it. Much less proving she intentionally did it.
Stereotypical right wing, back the blue, conservative Trump loving Republicans obviously see the injustices of his trial. Using the same broad range stereotype, those same people would likely be backing the blue in Karen Read’s case. While stereotypical left wing progressive Democrats joyously celebrate Trump’s conviction. Again using the broad range stereotype, those same people are likely to see the obvious in justices against Karen Read.
These trials epitomize the ridiculousness of America in a nutshell. People have allowed their egos and personal feelings to overshadow what’s actually important. True Americans can see the glaring issues and will be united by these two trials.
