Socrates' political enemies sentenced him to death for impiety and the corruption of young people. They were determined to eliminate him, though he denied the charges. The philosopher never committed the offense of not worshipping the same god that other Greeks worshiped. Instead, he taught the youth Philosophy and exposed politicians' shortcomings.
Heard on a television broadcast that the United States Congress investigating the January 6 riot at the Capitol in Washington is working to tie President Donald Trump to the evil of insurrection and send him for trial quickly reminds observers of Socrates of 399 BC Greece politics.
Greece is the original home of Democracy, with a bad example of politicians in power dispensing death to a famous philosopher to cover their weaknesses. The act is still prevalent in many of the Third World democracies. Much worldwide respect the United States; such an act is not part of the Democracy here. It seems time has changed, and anything is possible wherever human beings are in charge.
Although the investigation in Washington is still ongoing, hearing the news about the direction of the investigators is a cause for worry. It means that whatever decision the investigators eventually reach may have been pre-determined. Some people believe that President Trump may not be perfect but that he is better in the act of governance than his accusers. And that it is useless if the investigation of the January 6 insurrection is to get rid of the former president to ensure he does not return to power.
People are saying it will be bye to decent democratic dispensation and welcome to the Third world political practices in the struggle for power if it happens. The world witnessed how Trump survived non-existent Russia collusion charges. Trump was not originally a politician who belonged to the Washington swamp. He tried his luck by running for the president's office as an outsider to affect a change that politicians in Washington could not. And for four years, Trump showed that leaders who think first about America and Americans could make life better for people.
Americans are wondering what is happening to the country just two years of Trump was out of office. Shouldn't those who won the elections against Trump be able to show Americans they are better in Knowledge, Skills, Ability, and Other Characteristics (KSAOCs)? Why embark on a journey to establish themselves in Meletus' shoes? Many of the Congressmen and women taking part in the January 6 insurrection were also part of the hoax of Russian collusion.
When politicians haunt anything good for the country, America will gain nothing. Trump's presidency was good for his government compared to the current leadership charade. There is nothing precisely wrong with an investigation towards ensuring political stability and for any politician who may have done wrong to avoid a recurrence. Some say the idea of sending Trump to jail belongs to both parties' political enemies in Congress.
People from the Third World know what exists in their countries regarding the lack of accountability and the drive of incumbents to bury opponents with better ideas. They say fears of Trump's return amid the incumbent's failings are part of why they want him out and that the January 6 insurrection is merely a smokescreen.
And whoever has said the Third World has nothing to offer the advanced countries, ask about the destructive democracies that America seems to want to copy.
