The Trump Raid – We’re Missing the Point

“The documents were declassified!”

“Trump had every right keep them!”

“They posed no risk to national security!”

Conservatives have been defending Trump with these kinds of arguments ever since the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago last month. They’re missing the point, though.

But at the end of the day, the question of Trump’s innocence is irrelevant. Because what we’re witnessing is not a legal investigation but a political crusade – aided by the Justice Department – to crush a man it can’t stand. And if we allow the left to win this battle, we will have allowed it to cross a line from which there may be no turning back.

For this isn’t about Trump. It’s about the left doing whatever it takes to retain political and ideological control of this country. As one political commentator has pointed out, Trump represents everything the left hates, everything they’ve spent 50 years trying to eradicate. He exudes male energy. He loves America. For heaven’s sake, he even supports torturing terrorists!

And it’s precisely because the left so badly wants to crush him – and, more importantly, what he represents – that we need to defend him. For we mustn’t fool ourselves: If the left succeeds in indicting and arresting Trump, it will indict and arrest the next unapologetic Republican who appears on the scene too. And then the next one. And then the next one. The left won’t stop. It knows no boundaries. It recognizes no rules. Whatever it takes.

And we better take a stand now. For the left will only grow stronger with each victory it achieves. Censoring voices on social media already seems normal to us. Soon arresting one’s political opponents will seem normal too. When we finally decide to fight back, it may be too late. So let’s hold the line – now.
