Talk show host Bill Maher recently said, “let’s not confuse 5,000 people with 74 million people,” referring to the 5,000 people who broke into the Capitol building, destroyed property, attempted to kidnap or harm the Vice-President and the Speaker of the House, and had no respect for the law enforcement that they claim to revere, and the 74 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump.
Bill Maher is no supporter of the President, but his point is that the 74 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2020 aren’t going to ‘self-deport’ and will be voting in 2024 for the next President.
Trump won a narrow victory in 2016. In 2020 he lost narrowly to President Joe Biden. After the attack on the Capitol, the Trump brand has shrunk a little more.
The two photos above are why hundreds of thousands of Trump voters may have gotten off the bus. Both photos show the racist, anti-semitic attitude of some of the protestors. To have a protestor wear a shirt that embraces the holocaust is shameful.
And, No patriotic American should brandish or proudly celebrate the iconography of a rebellion that resulted in tremendous devastation, the loss of more than 620,000 American lives, and the continued subjugation of Black America.
The Confederate Flag embraced and represented treason against the United States of America. To all those Union Soldiers who fought to preserve the United States of America in the Civil War, like my great, great, great, great grandfather, Col. John McLeod Murphy, I reject what you stand for and I stand opposed to what we witnessed.
