"U.S. v. Trump (Federal/WDC/1/Indictment/01.08/2023)"
Doc #266-3: Appendix Vol. IV
They have the special paper these days. Very special, very sophisticated. The beautiful paper. It only shows the votes... the right votes. Not the wrong votes. The wrong votes it doesn't show. So you can count them.
A lot of migrants lean right-wing because
a) their last country had a despotic leftist,
b) they want to pass as just as 'Murican as their right-wing neighbours,
c) they buy into the myth that politicians are only going after "lazy" migrants, &
d) many are in church communities that advocate for right-wing leaders.
US friends, don't assume migrants in your life know they're in danger under T. Everyone thinks they have plot armour in their own life.

As Arendt noted, people who *weren't* intellectuals were sometimes better at responding to injustice, while her fellow academics found ways to spin what was happening into academic products.
That's something that happens to this day. People who stay in lives of literary or academic work sometimes confuse what they're doing with meaningful activism.
That's the danger I was working through: a world without enough moral action, but plenty of prose.
Thank you for sitting with it.
