What Americans did in casting out the tyrant Trump was followed on the media by the world. The world saw our complicated and radical political system at work and even the most intelligent among them did not understand it. Trump did not hold onto dictatorial power because he was not the head of a sovereign state. He became the dictator of the government in Washington but the legal power to hold and and certify the results of a presidential election belongs exclusively to fifty sovereign states. Each state certified independently according to its own election laws what candidate for the presidency its citizens preferred. The dictator of the sovereign state of Belarus decided last August to elect himself president by falsifying the results of the election he organized. He controlled the election process and he manipulated it to remain a dictator. He was the head of a sovereign state and Trump was not. I do not mean at all that the government in Washington does not have great power. Trump had taken personal control of all of Washington’s power by putting his own people in charge of the federal courts and all the federal agencies and bureaucracies. He succeeded in making himself the king of America and my fellow Americans rose up bravely and magnificently and voted him out of his kingship. I am not afraid to say what it was: the election of Joe Biden was a reenactment of the victory over the king of England which resulted in the democratic document Magna Carta. The English-speaking people of the world who live in democracies know what we English-speaking Americans did. We saved democracy in the United States by ripping our country out of the clutches of a fascist hoodlum. The United States will never be ruled by a king as long as we remain forever loyal to the government in Washington and at the same time freely and bravely exercise our democratic rights as citizens of fifty sovereign states.
