Letter to the editor: Trump inauguration will make a mockery of Constitution - by Kenneth Allen

Found here. Our comments in bold.

It's rather astonishing to us that the Left persists in their narrative no matter what. They get refuted every day but this does not dissuade them. They are proved wrong at every point but the very next day they repeat the same old bumper sticker slogans. Even though they lost the election using this blather they keep it up. Trump still must be blasted as an authoritarian, a fascist, a threat to democracy... and, an insurrectionist.

This is The Narrative, the daily talking points regularly disseminated to the faithful, the sole purpose of which is to further The Agenda. The Agenda is the overthrow of The System to make way for the people's utopia, Socialism.

So, Kenneth Allen's letter to the editor appeared in the local paper, in service to The Narrative. He is gravely concerned about supposed violations of the Constitution, you know, the document written by old white guys, misogynists, and imperialistic xenophobes. 

In actual fact the author doesn't care a bit about the Constitution, except for the momentary value it has to impugn Trump. He even quotes it, which likely puts his Google search into the FBI terrorist database. 

The author is correct that the Constitution forbids those who have engaged in insurrection to hold federal office. In the author's mind this disqualifies Trump. Because The Narrative. 

However, insurrection is a crime. So first, there must be an insurrection, and there wasn't. Second, one must be tried and convicted of insurrection to be an insurrectionist. Didn't happen. 

For a long time we thought the Left was simply being cynical, tossing around their accusations but not really believing them. It seems, though, that the author really believes this claptrap. A sobering situation, indeed.

Our nation's Constitution will be grossly violated, rendered inconsequential on Inauguration Day, Monday, Jan. 20, which, ironic

ally, is also Martin Luther King, Jr., Day.

Rev. King, in the 1960s, led the fight for Black citizens' constitutional rights. President Trump, in 2021, called for a violent insurrection against the Constitution. The mandate in the heart of Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is abundantly clear:

No person shall ... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, ... who, having previously taken an oath ... as an officer of the United States...to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

In 2021, President Trump called together thousands of supporters for a Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington. We all know what happened. Now, President-elect Trump has said, as again president, he will pardon those he sent to storm the Capitol and "fight like hell." 

Mr. Trump is an insurrectionist. He may not not "hold any office, civil or military, under the United States" without being in violation of the Constitution, but the Constitution be damned.

At noon on Jan. 20, Donald John Trump, once again, will place his left hand upon a Holy Bible, raise his right hand, and swear before God and the nation to "preserve, protect, and defend" the Constitution of the United States of America, and render the Constitution inconsequential in a ceremony that will make historic mockery of that sacred document.
