Honor our democracy and police

Jan. 6 will rival the Fourth of July for Trump supporters. Trump wants to honor the traitorous scum that tried to end our democracy. Do Republicans really believe that the riot on our capital was peaceful? Do they mock the seriousness of that event? Will his supporters cheer this atrocity?

This event will feature wholesome family entertainment like spearing policeman with flagpoles, smashing piñatas of Mike Pence and synchronized barrier shoving. Get your kids out to celebrate the event that started the end of our democracy. Hopefully our favorite wounded warrior will be there to hand out medals.

Little statues of insurrectionists storming our capital will replace the statues of the rising of our flag on Iwo Jima.

Almost all our WW2 veterans have passed that fought for our Democracy and this sanctioned event by Trump will kill the rest of them in spirit if not body.

Our law enforcement officers deserve better than this insult from Trump especially since Trump is ultimately responsible for the deaths of one officer at the riot, four that later committed suicide and 174 injured at what Trump called his peaceful and love-infused protest. Now he is celebrating this massacre.

Let’s give a big Trump high-five to Texas AG Paxton for sending his goons to raid the homes and harass little old Hispanic grandmothers that were helping register Democrats. AG Paxton’s message and the Texas election integrity unit mission statement to Latino’s is support white republicans or face Texas justice.
