O’Neill: Future Americans will remember this as the moment their ancestors chose to fight.

Indictment of Donald Trump: ⁣A Turning Point in American History

It seems clear that ⁢the ⁣Justice Department is going to indict Donald Trump⁣ on‌ charges ⁢related ⁣to Jan. 6.

We’ve seen this coming for more than ⁤two years, ‍ever since federal law⁣ enforcement ‍started rounding up Americans ‌who ⁣gathered in Washington, D.C., ​to protest on behalf⁤ of ⁤the candidate⁢ they supported and against obvious irregularities in counting the vote.

We make no apologies for ⁣those who broke the law that day —‌ nor do we ⁢recategorize⁤ those who⁣ violated criminal statutes as domestic terrorists or white‌ supremacists, etc.⁢ Americans accused of ​misdemeanors ⁣or felonies are owed due process, their day in⁤ court and all other rights afforded to the accused‍ as enumerated ​in our Constitution.

Instead, Jan. 6 defendants have ‌been denied bail ​and speedy trials, with‍ many locked up ⁣in ⁢pre-trial detention for months, even years.​ They’re political prisoners held for the crime of supporting the candidate of one of our country’s⁣ two main political⁤ parties.

The corrupt prosecutors who have been hunting Americans ​for simply exercising their First Amendment‌ rights of freedom of speech and assembly have​ boasted for more than two years that they intend to indict the man Jan. 6 ‍defendants supported. ‍And now it’s almost surely going to happen.

The candidate who was installed in the White House has done so much damage to our constitutional order in these two-plus years that Americans who love our ⁢great country ​and the principles she was​ built on ‍are straddling two⁤ different ⁤emotions — first is outrage, second is⁣ acceptance of what has long seemed inevitable.

So‍ much damage⁤ has been done;⁢ it was only a matter of time before ​America’s​ ruling class openly declared‍ war on America.

So where ‍does that leave us? Sometimes we’re dug in so⁤ deep in the trenches that we lose sight of the bigger picture. In our fight to⁢ save our country, sometimes​ we lack⁣ the ‍perspective necessary to understand ⁤the nature ‌and⁤ meaning of our struggle.

So let’s imagine what it⁤ looks like from afar. Or better yet, let’s imagine what this America‍ will look like to Americans 250 years⁣ from now.

A Glimpse into America’s Future

Some may​ wonder why it took us so long to recognize what was happening, how come we didn’t see that while we called ⁣ourselves a‍ representative⁤ democracy — by, for and of the people —‍ our policies and ⁢preferences, ‍even our leaders,⁤ were being ⁣chosen by others.

They’ll wonder‌ how we didn’t ​see earlier that the vicious conspiracy of corporate and political ⁣elites, spies,⁣ Big Tech, and the media were running our country into the ground. Our progeny ‌will wonder how we let it get so bad.

Then they’ll go⁣ to the‍ next chapter in this history and see a proud, ‍hard-working, God-fearing people who devoted ⁢the bulk of their‍ time and ⁣energy ⁢to their families ⁣and communities. And‌ thank goodness they ⁢didn’t spend all their days with their⁤ noses ​in ‍their ⁢phones reading websites carrying ​the dark news of the day.

Our future sons and daughters will see that⁢ we trusted ⁢that ⁢national leaders had our‌ best interests at heart and were working for ⁤the good of all Americans. But when we ⁢learned‍ that we‍ couldn’t ‌trust⁤ them, we fought and didn’t stop fighting until we ​won. We won because we drew our resilience, courage‍ and wisdom from what mattered most to us — our families, communities and faith in God.

Those Americans‍ 250 years on will say ⁤that it was at this present moment, inspired by this ‍outrage, that their⁣ ancestors began to fight.

Dig in, ‍brothers and ‌sisters. America’s future is at ‌stake.
