Forget about the Biblical Armageddon that was predicted over a thousand years ago that was to occur at a future date. The Armageddon that will take place in the summer is sure to come at the Republican party's national convention when the party nominates former President Donald Trump to be their Presidential nominee in the 2024 election.
When the gavel falls and Trump becomes the party's official nominee, the GOP will stoop to the lowest level possible in politics. Never before has a party nominated a Presidential candidate whose company was convicted of Fraud, or a candidate convicted of sexual abuse on a woman and defaming the same woman, being indicted on numerous charges and set to go to trial soon in connection with alleged money payments to Stormy Daniels
And to top it off, the party will be nominating a former President who committed a traitorous act of trying to overturn the Presidential election of 2020 and obstruct the peaceful transfer of power to the new administration, urged his mob to attack the Capitol and intimidate the U.S. House from casting their vote in the electoral college. This same person has attacked the constitution, America's institutions, the rule of law, the Department of Justice, the court system and individual judges along with American democracy and his lies and misinformation continue today as policy.
Donald Trump has been toxic to American democracy and is unqualified to hold any public office ever again, especially the Presidency. No party can justify nominating such a corrupted person to be their party's Presidential nominee, it is against everything America stands for in its 200 plus years of history. And today, three years after leaving office, Trump is still engaged in the same lies and blames everyone else for his own corruption and even brags if re-elected, he makes a promise to be vindictive.
When Armageddon comes at the end of the Republican National Convention, the party will have no one to blame but themselves and the embrace of Trump's toxic ideology. Their lack of courage, character and political understanding along with an enabling media and voter base, tells the story how corrupt the party has become. Trump and his party are a total disgrace to political governing.
There is time for the party to change course and nominate someone other than Trump to avoid Armageddon for their party and the country. If change does not come, the people should make it known they would support a new Independent party and let Armageddon phase out the current GOP and for good reasons.
