Donald Trump’s criminal conviction is not a cause for celebration but a sober reminder I am not celebrating the conviction of Donald Trump.
It was inevitable and, though a just outcome, it will not solve anything. I know a lot of folks were dancing in the streets when the “guilty” verdicts were read.
But Trump is not the problem; he is only the symptom, much as a herpes sore is not the disease but a manifestation of it. Trump, the now-convicted former president, is a weeping sore, a manifestation of a much deeper disease.
It is virus driven by social media algorithms and power-hungry politicians. It is a nurtured by ignorance and a general intellectual incuriosity that pervades our society.
