Donald Trump Is a Threat to Democracy, and Saying So Is Not Incitement

[Carl in Michigan]

The propaganda is that a convicted felon like Trump can become President.

He can. Democrats have bastardized and politicized the judicial system to the point that a conviction is meaningless

Ain't freedom of speech great?

It is. It seems to make you angry.

Angry this,

If Trump were black, it wouldn't be meaningless, you are the typical fool who thinks a rich white man who spews white supremacy is above the law.

You have to lie about him to "KEEP HATE ALIVE". Your race-baiting is also something you've made meaningless

Angry this,

Look at you, proving me right!

I can't even begin to imagine how much it must absolutely suck to be you.

Young Donald Trump predicted this

What am I lying about? A black man with 34 convictions would be under the jail and he damn sure wouldn't be running for President.

Just look in the mirror **** boy, pretty sure not too many people want to be your weak ass.

"Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.

What Democracy ?
Where ?

Just look to America to see how a claimed Democracy is quite the opposite .

I don't care if they don't. But I can't imagine what your life must be like, going around all day feeling nothing but impotent rage.

/—-/ Trump is a threat to the Swamp. We’re a Republic, not a democracy.

The man who illegally tried to overturn an election is a threat to democracy. Plain and simple.

 

[lennypartiv]

Biden stole the last presidential election. Biden is a threat to democracy.

 

[Mac-7]

"Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. That was true before an assassination attempt was foiled at his golf course Sunday, and it remains true after. Political violence in general, and assassinating presidential candidates specifically, also poses risks to democracy.

There is no contradiction between these ideas whatsoever. Yet Trump’s supporters have responded to both attempts on his life by muddying the waters, exploiting the near-tragedies with cynical efforts to redefine critiques of Trump’s authoritarian inclinations as violent provocation.
[…]
There is a more serious conceptual problem with the argument that denouncing Trump as a threat to democracy inspired violence: It ignores the truth or falsity of the matter. Taken at face value, the argument implies that we cannot say a presidential candidate threatens democracy even if he plainly does. A party could nominate a candidate who openly promises to end elections and imprison all his critics, and the opposing party would be prevented from describing this candidate as a threat to democracy for fear of inspiring assassination attempts...”

Donald Trump Is a Threat to Democracy, and Saying So Is Not Incitement

Opposing political violence does not mean ignoring authoritarianism.

Republicans need to stop lying that appropriate, factual, warranted criticism of Trump is somehow ‘inciting’ violence against Trump.

The migrant invasion is a real threat to democracy

Unlike the lie being told about trump

/——/ Pilosi admits she was wrong on Jan 6 when she refused Trump’s offer of 20,000 National Guard troops.
You don’t offer troops if you’re trying to overthrow the government, moron.

America is at a boiling point, and Trump can’t blame anyone but himself.

Why did Trump think they would need 20,000 national guard troops?

Why did Trump think they would need 20,000 national guard troops?

/—-/ That was a typo and I can no longer edit the post. Actually it was 10,000.

Trump has frequently insisted he called for 10,000 troops (sometimes it’s inflated as 20,000) to keep the peace on Jan. 6, 2021, as part of his defense against accusations that he incited the attack on the Capitol as Congress met to certify the 2020 Electoral College count on the presidential election.

Trump Did Float Idea Of 10,000 Troops Jan. 6 — To Protect Him On Capitol March: Committee

He wanted thousands of National Guard troops to shield him and supporters from any imagined "threat from left-wing counterprotesters," according to testimony.

Not atl all, I look forward to the day in Jan when Xiden and the rest of the Xiden klan are prosecuted.

He saw the riots in 2016, and Jan 2017, and well the brownshirts burn city after city in 2020....being prepared is what makes him a good leader.
