Simon Rosenberg on The Bullwark Podcast of April 26, 2024 listed out six things that people who voted for Trump last time didn't know, but do know now:
- Trump raped E Jean Carroll in a department store
- Trump oversaw one of the largest financial frauds in history and has been fined about half a BILLION dollars
- Trump stole American secrets and lied to the FBI about it and shared those secrets with other people, which is the greatest betrayal of America by any American president
- Trump tried to forcibly overthrow an election, led an armed attack on the Capital with all 435 congresspeople inside, and is promising to end America democracy for all time if in the White House in 2025
- Trump and his family has corruptly taken more money from foreign governments than any political family in American history
- Trump was singularly responsible for ending Roe v Wade and taking rights and freedoms away from half the population
Let's pretend that all of these horrors are actually surprises to those who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. Well, they aren't surprises any more.
These are excellent reasons to turn away in 2024. The man is astonishingly corrupt, immoral, treasonous, violent, and cruel.
A second Trump presidency is unthinkable to me. I deeply hope my conservative friends understand that Trump is not a Republican, and the "Republican Party" is no longer the Republican Party.
All that is left of the "Republican Party" is submission to the violent whims of a mentally ill, onset dementia, overgrown six-year-old. And the very smart and fanatical White Supremacist Christian Nationalists, dedicated to their Unconstitutional Theocracy, along with the usual Oligarchs wanting freedom to hoard unbelievable riches as they destroy the environment, destroy the Middle Class, and destroy the Rule of Law are planning and poised to pounce and take over the country while the moron in chief is distracted with his revenge agenda.
Just turn away.
