A Message from Me to Donald Trump

Mr. Trump,
You have lost your bid for re-election.  I know that the Bible says that we are to be subject to our leaders.  But you have two strikes against you.  First, our subjection to our leaders carries only as far as their subjection to an impartial moral standard that is larger than them.  You have refused to submit to that standard for most of your life, and you have refused to submit to that standard during every single day of your presidency.  And you refuse to submit to the laws of a nation in which you legitimately and fairly lost the November 2020 presidential election.

Therefore, I will not submit to you at all or acknowledge you as the President of the United States after January 19th, 2021.  If you are still occupying the White House on January 21st, 2021, I intend to do everything I can to build a nonviolent liberation struggle to oust you.  Your narcissism, your nihilism, and your associations with thugs such as Vladimir Putin must end.  To use a phrase of yours that has recently been much quoted, you're fired.
