Who Is The Threat To Our Republic?

Ms Pelosi's impeachment charge is that Mr. Trump incited rioting in the U.S. Capital and is therefore a threat to the republic.

For the moment let's put aside the fact that this threat was known by the federal authorities weeks in advance so that better preparations should have been made for the event. And let's put aside the fact that the invasion by the hooligans began to occur before Mr. Trump's purported incitement. And let's put aside the fact that Mr. Trump in his speech to his supporters in no way called for anything but peaceful protest. And let's put aside the fact that Mr. Trump's political opponents excused and even gave their support to violence in many of our major cities which caused far greater destruction of life and property for months on end.

Let's for the moment put all this aside and accept the idea that Mr. Trump shared some of the responsibility for the recent troubles in the seat of our government. Mr. Biden has recently declared his intent to immediately reverse Mr. Trump's policies to improve our country's energy production. If he succeeds in returning our country from a net energy exporter to one which must depend on authoritarian adversaries for the energy needs that are required for the health and well-being of our citizens, then he will have proved to be an infinitely greater threat to our republic than Mr. Trump could even hope to be.
