Lincoln chose “malice toward none.” Mandela chose reconciliation over revenge. Trump promised “I am your retribution.” That contrast tells you almost everything about leadership and what public office is supposed to be for. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

open.substack.comRetribution Is Incompatible With Leadership.Great leaders have always known the difference. Trump does not, and we are all paying for it.

But it tells you even more about your neighbors. At their core they’re either apathetic and self absorbed and can’t be bothered to vote-or they’re hateful people who look for any reason to blame their life’s disappointments on the mere existence of non white people, the LGBTQ + community and women.

There is a difference between using the presidency to settle *personal* scores, which is what trump is doing, and using the office to bring justice to those who harm the country, which is what Ford and arguably Lincoln failed to do. It's not quite an apples to apples comparison.

If you think about it, he meant every American in the USA will be his retribution. Not just his known enemies, everyone. That seems to be the only "promise" he has kept.

If we follow this advice, then how do we prosecute the Trump administration for it's many crimes? Biden took this high road of political nobility, and took too long prosecuting Trump the first time. We cannot make this mistake twice. Trump and his cronies must face justice for democracy to survive

WE are experiencing a CULT mentality, White Supremacy, along with Christian Nationalists who justify anything he does using their religion. They have infiltrated the admin. Trump has no ideology or religion 👇

It also tells you what 77 million Americans value: revenge against other Americans they have been trained to hate. This country is broken. Trump is as much a symptom as a cause. We need a complete reset.

I think that's the wrong lesson. A failure to follow through and impose "retribution" after the civil war directly ties to problems we have today. If Dems get control, it has to be scorched earth on the GOP. Utter devastation. They're the enemy of America.

trump is an unstable man,the only retribution he seeks is for people who disagree with him who convicted him for his crimes. .. he has no idea what it means to be a leader.His world is all about him. No body else!!

Why are we going to turn the other cheek on these Nazis? As soon as we take the country back, they will quietly start to figure out how they can unleash concentration camps on us again. I’m tired of forgiving these bastards. It’s centuries of this bullshit.

Pathetic, monstrous self-entitlement, or the path of evil men... You commit a horrible physical crime, then not only condemn the victim's successful self-defense, but you retaliate and vow to exact revenge!! To wit: Trump vs E. Jean Carroll To wit: Putin vs Independent Ukraine

Trump is working his way down his enemies list with his DOJ. Why do Americans have to pay for this? He's made 3700 trades this quarter. He should use his own fkn money. Not ours.

Funny thing is he's only getting retribution for himself. He knew that $1.776B fund would never fly. His first term cost him money because his stupid sons are as bad at running a business as he is. This term is about stealing as much money from the US citizens as he possibly can.

this whole thing is a snake pit, filled to the brim. I can't believe that America has been reduced to a mob boss rule. People took oaths to uphold the Constitution, guess it was only words and not actions. trumps whole gang needs to go and fast.

Apparently, his cult has the same mentality. I'm 69. I've had times of anger & resentment in my life & it took me a while to work through them. Looking back, they were bad times of my own making. I can only imagine how miserable these people are. It's a terrible mindset to be in.

It’s the R party. Ronald R used “MAGA” in speeches and Bush liked his Willie Horton tricks. They stay on brand message-and their brand is to convince white people with every historical advantage that they’re really victims. And it works beautifully. And here’s what I really fear: it always will.
