Democrats and their other authoritarian left-wing droids are drooling all over themselves thinking of the prospect that former President Donald J. Trump will step across the line in a Manhattan courtroom and be thrown into jail by a judge who detests him.
What is little understood by vindictive leftists clamoring for this incarceration is that Trump has always been more than a man to supporters, he’s a symbol, much like Batman, and if the abusers of the law aren’t able to restrain themselves they could be creating something that they have no comprehension of.
Imprisoning political enemies is new to the United States of America – especially when it comes to the leader of the opposition party – but such things are commonplace in cruder parts of the world, like South Africa.
That’s where one of the left’s greatest heroes, statesman and former South African President Nelson Mandela was himself locked up for 27 years in some of the country’s most notorious prisons, becoming a celebrated icon for the globalist left with politicians and celebrities lionizing him and rock stars immortalizing him in songs.
Trump brought up Mandela over the weekend, a role he seemed to embrace.
In a Truth Social rant directed at “crooked” New York Judge Juan Merchan, he wrote: “If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the ‘clink’ for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela.”
Trump’s attorney Alina Habba also brought up the former South African leader and hero to the left during an appearance on Fox News.

“I think like anybody, he’s concerned about going to jail. But if they put him in jail for his First Amendment right, he will be like Nelson Mandela. I mean, that would be just absurd,” Habba told host Martha MacCallum.
Democrats would be wise to realize that those who light fires at times get burned and their short-sighted hatred for Trump could create even more than a “modern day Nelson Mandela” if they are successful in locking their hated enemy up in a cage for the rest of his life.
They would be creating a martyr and a true American folk hero who could be even more relevant in the future than he is now, a powerful and enduring figure symbolic of resistance against a corrupt, anti-American system.
Imagine future generations inspired by Trump, with the numbers and the determination to set things right. It is a possibility that leftists should very carefully consider because if they immortalize Trump in such a way that a charismatic leader in the coming years with an ability to inspire the people with an American restorative movement rises to power, they will live to rue the day.
As legendary poet and novelist Victor Hugo once wrote: “Nothing else in the world…not all the armies…is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.”
