After Trump’s Victory, There Can Be No Unity Without A Reckoning

 In July, the author argued that there can be no national unity in America, as the news media who have been encouraging political violence and pushing assassination prep for years should not be forgiven. They argue that their lies and propaganda should not be forgotten, and they should be either ignored or met with mockery and derision. The "prestige" media outlets that perpetrated lies, distortions, and unhinged rhetoric about Trump should lose so much credibility that their reader and viewer bases collapse, advertisers abandon them, and they get broken up and sold off for parts.

Legacy media outlets, the polling industry, Democrat-funded nonprofits, and academics and activists who run them have all been exposed as cogs in a giant propaganda machine. Kamala Harris was never ahead, and she was not "brat." Corporate media and the Democrats ran a massive psy-op on the American people to make them believe something that wasn't true, and it failed. We should never forget that these people will say anything for the sake of power, so we should never trust them again.

For government officials and institutions who tried to bankrupt and jail Trump, there should be more severe and formal consequences. The Justice Department will be dismissing Special Counsel Jack Smith and dropping his cases against Trump before Trump takes office. However, Smith should not be allowed to simply walk away. He and everyone else at Biden's DOJ who was involved in these lawfare cases against Trump needs to be investigated and held accountable for their actions.

The problem goes far beyond Smith. What the Justice Department and the FBI did to Trump was one of the most egregious abuses of power in American history. We shouldn't just shrug our shoulders at it because Trump won. These agencies need to be dismantled entirely and re-built from scratch. The FBI in particular has shown itself to be an enemy of the American people and a danger to the republic. Its director, Christopher Wray, should not simply be allowed to resign.

New York Attorney General Leticia James, whose lawfare against Trump is an ongoing scandal, should be disbarred, at least for trying to bankrupt Trump with a bogus fraud case in which there are no fraud victims. Liz Cheney, who has been accused of inducing witness perjury, destroying documents, and suppressing exonerating evidence, should also face criminal charges if warranted.

The idea that we should just forget all that now for the sake of unity is deeply misguided and naïve. If those responsible aren't held accountable, they will never stop trying to destroy their enemies by any means they can. Before we ever achieve anything like unity in America again, there must be a reckoning and there must be justice. Without those things, the divisions in our country won't be able to heal.
