If we convict Trump, we must convict nature herself (That’s like acquitting Jeffrey Dahmer because he’s full)


January 2021

“So you just want to let him off scot-free for insurrection because he’s no longer in power? That’s like acquitting Jeffrey Dahmer because he’s full.” —Stephen Colbert


“Violent seditionists and white supremacists and militia members stormed the Capitol building and tried to overthrow democracy. We have to do something about that so it doesn’t happen again. Instead, Republican leaders are talking about Trump’s base the way park rangers talk about bears on a campground: ‘Don’t make eye contact, move away slowly, and if worst comes to worst, let ‘em eat your hot dogs — they’re just hot dogs.’” —Seth Meyers


“In fact, you can argue that you have to convict Trump because if there is no consequence for trying to overthrow the government, then every president will just try it on their way out of office. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? ‘Sack the Capitol, boys! Oh, it didn’t work? Well, I shot my shot. See you guys in four years, everybody.’” —Trevor Noah


“The GOP is supposed to be the party of personal responsibility. Isn’t that their thing? But as soon as their members do something wrong, they start talking like Buddhists – ‘when you think of the oneness of all things, then Donald Trump is as guilty as the blooming flower or the flowing river. If we convict Trump, we must convict nature herself.’” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
