I have often said, “you cannot win an argument with an idiot.” An idiot is unwilling to process factual information and adjust their opinion accordingly.

In the recently completed trial of former President Donald Trump, there are many idiots who celebrate the guilty verdict and crow the jury’s decision justifies their psychotic hatred of the man. If you see yourself in this description, you can stop reading now.

For anyone else, consider the following facts:

Trump announced his presidential run in November 2022. Over the next year, four prosecutors in Democrat strongholds had filed actions against him. Two states had made efforts to keep him off their ballots. One case involved a real estate valuation for purposes of receiving loans which were paid back, therefore, no victim. Judgment: $450 million. Another case involves the crime of keeping classified documents in Trump’s private residence, something that Joe Biden also did, except he possessed documents taken while he was a senator. Biden will not be charged.

In the recently completed trial for falsifying financial records, the judge was a Democrat who overwhelmingly ruled in favor of the prosecution’s requests while denying motions filed by the defense. Even many liberal legal experts believe the verdict is likely to be overturned on appeal.

Whether you’re MAGA or an anti-Trumper, it’s reasonable to question the validity of these proceedings. Are Democrats interested in winning an election or just making sure they stop their adversary by any means necessary? God help this nation if it’s the latter.
