Heed warnings from Trump’s former backers

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, December 6, 2023

It’s not about Republicans vs. Democrats, left vs. right, liberal vs. conservative. It’s what’s right and what’s wrong, and just plain being a decent human being.

And if there’s one thing that Donald Trump cares little to nothing about, it’s being a decent human being, and he’s got the track record to prove it.

Now it’s also a pretty good bet that he’s running for office again in a desperate attempt to escape his legal issues. All these years of grift and cheating and lying to benefit himself, and maybe it’s caught up with him, finally. But you gotta hand it to him, Trump is really good at using people any way he can to achieve whatever he wants.

His backers hear what they want to hear and are not inclined to question anything Trump says. Of course he rarely says anything you can check out anyway because other than telling everybody how bad Democrats and Joe Biden are, there’s nothing to check out. We should listen to the many former Trump supporters, some of whom worked with him in the White House who are trying to warn us about how dangerous Trump is for this country and democracy.

MAGA hats don’t want to hear that message but the rest of us should hear it loud and clear.
