Wondering just who 'they' are, of whom Trump speaks?

By Ken W. White / Herald Forum

Recently, the twice impeached, ex-president, Donald Trump, spoke at a radical conservative hatefest and warned: “At the ballot box, they will get a reckoning, like they haven’t even imagined before.”

Who are “they”?

Well, prosecutors, of course, and court clerks, lawyers, judges, jurors, Joe Biden, New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg (whom Trump called a “danger to our country, and should be removed immediately”), and anyone against Trump and for democracy.

In other words, “they” is me. And maybe you.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

—Martin Niemöller
