The Times’ magnanimous gesture toward Trump supporters enraged and baffled me.

For the past four years we have been bombarded in every form of media by Trump and the sycophants who rallied behind him like loyal serfs to the king, bolstered by constant conspiracy theories such as QAnon and supported by white supremacists.

Trump was legitimately impeached by the House of Representatives and would have been removed by the Senate if its members were not cowards.

The icing on the cake was the explosion of a pandemic this year, which was ignored by Trump for the first two months. COVID- 19 has killed more than 250,000 people in this country and is spreading out of control.

He is a deeply f lawed human being who revels in the chaos and division he has so successfully spread.
