It’s difficult for me to understand how people who fight for justice for themselves or others, can then find it acceptable for someone else to be treated unjustly and lied about?  But that is what I see too often transpiring.

In my lifetime, I’ve spent a great deal of energy fighting for others, especially underdogs that seemed to be standing alone against the powerful or at least more powerful than they.  Sometimes I was directly involved in the cases and other times, I was merely someone striving to get the truth out and the attention of others, who were in a position to fight the particular injustice. 

No matter my part, big or small, I was all in on fighting against whatever the injustice was.

I’ve seen innocent people look totally guilty.  Likewise, I have seen guilty people look totally innocent.  Appearance can be absolutely deceiving and often are – especially in today’s insane world, where deceit is accepted if applied to those not agreeing or somehow in the way.  You know, like President Trump.  The man who has often been in the way of what so many have wanted.

I don’t know how many times I have heard people say that Trump lied about things that he did not lie about.  It was a lie that he lied.  In short, numerous times, I have asked people to name the lies they are accusing President Trump of.  Each time, there has either been a response of silence or an allegation of something not true or something he said or did that was taken out of context to give the appearance of something not true.

Yet, some don’t care.

Some don’t care the President has been lied about or treated unfairly because they don’t like him.  The latter supposedly makes it okay.  But it doesn’t.

No one should be treated unfairly or lied about.  If it is wrong – it is wrong no matter who does it or who it is done to.  Liking the person or being the person is, or should be, irrelevant if we truly believe in justice for anyone, including self.

In addition to some thinking it is okay to lie about Trump – it’s amazing how so many are saying there isn’t any evidence to support the Trump Team’s claims without their own evidence that there is no evidence.  These people simply throw their allegations out there – without evidence – with the expectation that their word is all that is necessary.  In a sense, they are right.

Many people only hear news from media that is hostile to President Trump.  Media that doesn’t share much, if anything, that is ever positive involving him.  Therefore, there are many things those viewers aren’t aware of.  As a result, too many too often get dug in and ready to believe anything bad said about Trump and refuse to listen to anything that challenges those beliefs.

I had some contacts that I thought the world of.  I would have sworn that their integrity was beyond reproach and nothing could ever shake it.  Then came Trump and the hatred of him.  Sadly, I watched some become everything I believed they could never be – liars.

Then there are those people, who were treated wrongly, who now seem to think being treated wrongly is wrong, unless it is President Trump, of course.  Somehow, in their minds, he is fair game because they have believed all the lies about him and failed to see all he has done for them.  They just believe what they were fed, while fighting to get the courts and supporters to not believe all the non-truths involved in their case or the case of someone they were fighting for.

Amazing.

Court decisions are not always right or fair.

Investigations are not always thorough, whether by intent or by obstacles blocking those in pursuit of the truth.

Truth assertion is claimed by propaganda artists and truth-tellers alike.

Not all is as it seems.

Major media is not necessarily your friend providing truthful information.  Sometimes… some of them… are nothing more than gaslighters leading you to where they, and their masters, wish you to be, so you can be controlled and think what they want you to think, as obviously they have done with many.

This election should concern us.

Perhaps you were for Joe Biden, but do you really want him to win if he has only won by lying and cheating by any?  If your answer is yes, will you feel it is okay for the next person to win that way as well – especially if it is not a person you are for?  Or, is it only okay if it is done to Trump and your person always wins?

Biden may have won.  How do we know though, as things have and are transpiring?  How can we trust an election that has had Trump votes given to Biden and all the other irregularities?  Shouldn’t we want our elections to be on the up and up?  Shouldn’t we want to know?  Shouldn’t we want to be assured we were right and our vote was, and always is, counted accurately?

 Yes, this election, and many other things, should concern us all.

We should never give the stamp of approval for lying and cheating no matter who it is done to or who it is done by.  Truth and justice only exists when we demand truth and justice for all – including those we don’t even particularly like.  And, yes, that includes President Trump.
