In Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial, the former President is not the only one in the dock. So are tens of millions of us if the House prosecutors can successfully implicate Mr. Trump’s supporters in his alleged seditious conspiracy.

After all, the stated purpose of Democratic partisans is to prevent Donald Trump from regaining the presidency in 2024. Consequently, they will not only be vilifying him, but using every opportunity to marginalize and suppress like-minded Americans.

So, expect to hear a lot in this trial about the threat posed by so-called “racists,” “white supremacists,” “domestic terrorists” and even “Christian insurrectionists.” It doesn’t matter that you are none of those things. If the Leftists in Congress, the media and Big Tech can make such lies stick, we will be the ones punished by losing our freedoms, our country and possibly even our lives.
