So, Trump has officially been impeached a second time. But what about all the politicians who still cannot bring themselves to say the election wasn’t stolen?

Are they really OK with what鈥檚 happened? A president who spends four years teaching us that American elections are rigged, and who then tells the thousands of people on the day his defeat is about to be certified that they still have time to stop it?

Most of his congressional support group still ignore the re-education campaign that set us up for what happened last week, and which has now set us up for an inauguration that needs 20,000 soldiers to be safe.

And yet grievances keep coming 鈥 now there鈥檚 outrage about Twitter and Amazon and Google blocking his accounts.

I heard the 鈥渦ltimate cancel culture鈥 canceling a sitting U.S. President.鈥 To which I would say 鈥 what do you call it when a sitting U.S. president tries to cancel a 233-year-old Constitution?

But then, people have a knack for editing their memories.

I鈥檓 sure that years from now, a curious child will point to their smartphone and say, 鈥淕randpa, is that a video of you chanting ‘stop the steal’ with Donald Trump back in 2021?”

鈥淥h no,鈥 Grandpa will say.

鈥淏ut that鈥檚 your name right there, Grandpa!鈥 the child will astutely point out.

鈥淥h yes,鈥 he’ll answer. 鈥淏ut I wasn鈥檛 chanting it with him. I was chanting it聽at 丑颈尘.鈥

鈥淵ou were a hero, Grandpa!鈥

鈥淵es, I was.鈥
