Convict Trump in the Senate Impeachment Trial
In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America
Trump must be repudiated and punished for an attempted fascist coup that brought thousands of his rabid followers to DC on January 6 and unleashed them to storm the Capitol. For months before and after the election, Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power and spread unhinged lies about voter fraud. His regime attempted to throw out millions of votes, mainly from Black voters in swing states. All this, including a violent attempt to overturn the election and hold on to power, was in the service of fascism – open bloody dictatorship.
Trump must be convicted and barred from coming back to elected office. This would be a real setback to the fascist movement he still leads.
The forum explored:
- What is the significance of the trial?
- Why is the demand for Trump’s conviction important?
- What are the ways this demand should be publicly manifested?
- What are the implications of conviction/acquittal?
