Avoiding Trump's Nero Decree

On March 19, 1945, Adolf Hitler issued an order to destroy German infrastructure to prevent their use by the Allies. The order came to be known as the Nero Decree and was intended to leave nothing but scorched earth in the wake of the retreating German army.
Hitler committed suicide 42 days after issuing the order.
In the weeks between the election of Joe Biden and the presidential inauguration on Wednesday, January 20, 2021, let us pray that the President of the United States doesn't perform his own version of the Nero Degree.
In the days after the election, Trump's legal team filed baseless lawsuits across the country, a type of legal scorched earth plan.
Having undermined the democratic process of the United States in the weeks before the election, Donald Trump continues to inflict inexcusable damage on democracy by undermining the public's confidence in the election process. By calling into question the legitimacy of Biden's election, Trump is trying to damage the country in ways that will last long after he's dead.
Fortunately, just as the presence of God is written in the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ on the hearts of creation, so, too, are the spirit of fair play and Democratic ideals written on the hearts of humanity.
Scorched earth grows and life returns over time. The American experiment in democracy— the oldest democracy in the word, will survive a polarizing election and the baseless lies of a sociopath, because freedom and liberty are timeless ideals.
The majority of Americans, like the majority of Christians, believe in decency, fairness, and equality. They may be deceived and manipulated by immoral leaders, but in the end, eventually, let us pray they do the right thing.

We are seeing (including here on NT) die-hard Trumpists gleefully exclaiming about the damage Trump will do before leaving office.
Trump has been giving us his worst for four years!
I don't think so. He's been incompetent and callous, but not intentionally destructive.
Now, that may change...
You JUST started recovering in 2017? [Deleted] I have been recovering since 2010.
He's in boat repairs. After the complete melt down of 2007-2008, personal boats were the last commodity to rebound.
My old neighborhood was sad, So many boats in yards under tarps for so many years.
But of course we need to blame others and call them names ........
I really would not be surprised if Trump orders all of America's crops be burnt and that our fields then be salted so that nothing will ever grow here again...
He is that vindictive. He can't be gone soon enough!

Right, because Trump has proven to be so physically destructive.
No new wars started, and tried to get us out of Syria and Afghanistan.
On the home front the leftist Brown Shirts, and their Democratic enablers, have done far more physical damage than Trump could ever hope to achieve.
But don't worry, Biden is coming in- he will put the US squarely back in the cross hairs of the world very quickly. Starting with Syria if you listen to his rhetoric. The tail will be wagging the US dog again in no time.
Kyle Rittenhouse, all by himself, has done more damage than all of the Left.
Unless of course... lives are less valuable than property.
