Trump: The Danger Ahead

[Harry Dresden]

Exactly.

And the danger is not just Trump, of course – those who vote for Trump likewise represent a danger to America’s democracy.

people who vote like you are a danger too jones....

people who vote like you are a danger too jones....

Trump is a product of the GOP – the danger is the result of a Republican party that’s become illiberal, anti-democratic, and authoritarian.

Warning America of the danger that is Trump shouldn’t be necessary; that it is necessary is madness.

It’s madness that Trump isn’t far behind in the polls having suspended his ‘campaign’ for lack of support.

THE DANGER AHEAD​

If Donald Trump returns to the White House, he’d bring a better understanding of the system’s vulnerabilities, more willing enablers, and a more focused agenda of retaliation against his adversaries.

For all its marvelous creativity, the human imagination often fails when turned to the future. It is blunted, perhaps, by a craving for the familiar. We all appreciate that the past includes many moments of severe instability, crisis, even radical revolutionary upheaval. We know that such things happened years or decades or centuries ago. We cannot believe they might happen tomorrow.

When Donald Trump is the subject, imagination falters further. Trump operates so far outside the normal bounds of human behavior—never mind normal political behavior—that it is difficult to accept what he may actually do, even when he declares his intentions openly. What’s more, we have experienced one Trump presidency already. We can take false comfort from that previous experience: We’ve lived through it once. American democracy survived. Maybe the danger is less than feared?

In his first term, Trump’s corruption and brutality were mitigated by his ignorance and laziness. In a second, Trump would arrive with a much better understanding of the system’s vulnerabilities, more willing enablers in tow, and a much more focused agenda of retaliation against his adversaries and impunity for himself. When people wonder what another Trump term might hold, their minds underestimate the chaos that would lie ahead.

By Election Day 2024, Donald Trump will be in the thick of multiple criminal trials. It’s not impossible that he may already have been convicted in at least one of them. If he wins the election, Trump will commit the first crime of his second term at noon on Inauguration Day: His oath to defend the Constitution of the United States will be a perjury.

A second Trump term would instantly plunge the country into a constitutional crisis more terrible than anything seen since the Civil War. Even in the turmoil of the 1960s, even during the Great Depression, the country had a functional government with the president as its head. But the government cannot function with an indicted or convicted criminal as its head. The president would be an outlaw, or on his way to becoming an outlaw. For his own survival, he would have to destroy the rule of law.

Some heavy food for thought by David Frum at The Atlantic. What do you think?

Are you kidding?

I can't argue with a retard like yourself who won't accept reality.

You can't argue with me so you try to duck behind the bullshit retard excuse because there is no hiding behind the fact that the only real danger ahead of us is the same danger already lying behind us in JOE BIDEN if he is somehow corruptly reinstalled over the wishes of the voters again for another four years as pathetic front-man for the communist Obumma-deepstate regime who are the true enemies to America.

And for you to argue against the plain obvious truth to a gerbil makes you either one of their useful plodding buffoons, or one of their paid trolls.

From the interviews I've seen, I think she knows that it will be essentially impossible to break through the wall of noise that has been created by the daily, hourly, non-stop madness of the last seven years.

Trump is the strong medicine the Federal government needs to get it back on the right track.
Republicans will only enable changes that are good and necessary.
The democrats whining about Trump after a successful presidency, while ignoring the shadow government and fake presidency of Joe Biden.

Whats is scary is that the Federal Budget deficit may cause the collapse of the US dollar in the next president's term.
That will be ugly no matter who is in the WH.

The Swamp is terrified that Trump may win the Presidency again. They are likely having sleepless nights wondering how they failed to take Trump out before now.

I hope Trump has very loyal Secret Service agents because he may just need all the protection he can get. I lived through the JFK, RFK and MLK assassinations and I definitely do not want to see any more. Those were bad days for our nation.

"Wrong" by whose interpretation, exactly?

Why does that matter, Mac? Does that only apply when Progressives are in charge?
