We’re Getting A Trump Mugshot After All

Christmas is coming early for Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat, as it looks like he will be getting his mugshot of former President Donald Trump following Monday’s Georgia indictment.

Labat told reporters in early August, “unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” in reference to the former president possible Georgia indictment, according to WSB-TV. That indictment happened, so Labat must be thrilled.

The rest of America? Not so much. Call me crazy, but as a legal immigrant here, I never thought America was the type of country where the political opponents of current leaders are persecuted. That type of behavior was exclusively limited to evil leaders, like Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Chinese Communist Party’s Xi Jinping.

But no, this type of stuff happens in America too … now … I guess. And while many people on the left are applauding Labat’s work, all I see is a horrific snowball effect in the making.

If they can come for Trump and win, then the next natural step is to come for plebeians like us, who are deeply unsettled with the Biden administration’s status quo when it comes to globalist agendas, the normalization of negative mental health, and total inaction on America’s real problems.

Perhaps I’m being hyperbolic, but having just read “Gulag Archipelago,” I really feel like we could be dooming ourselves through a blasé attitude toward tyranny. (RELATED: ‘I Brought Some Cyanide’: Another Billionaire Investor Predicts Devastating Economic Collapse)

So extreme is this sense of doom that part of me wants to step away from political writing altogether and just focus on the weather, or aliens. The safety and health of my family is more important to me than engaging in a fight that no one on the right even sees coming for them. And it’ll hit them so hard, their heads won’t just spin.
