How is it possible that anyone can still support this man? What has happened in their lives that led them to believe that he is the right choice? These questions swirl in my mind as I dive deeper into the recent news. Trump’s lawyers, in a filing this week, had asserted that the events of January 6th did not constitute an insurrection. However, just days later, Trump himself stated, “I think it was an insurrection.”… Continue reading
