I take the Trump police state threat very, very seriously. Trump is not subtle in his threats. Quotes from a Thomas Edsel article:
“Trump, who does not speak in metaphors, has made it plain: “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath.” This is a time for imagining the worst. Not a single loyal Republican official has objected to that statement or to similar MAGA warnings about an impending civil war....”
“Trump is in the classic dictatorial position: He needs to die in bed holding all executive power to stay out of prison. This means that he will do whatever he can to gain power, and once in power will do all that he can to never let it go. This is a basic incentive structure which underlies everything else. It is entirely inconsistent with democracy.”
Tomorrow Kamala Harris will give her acceptance speech for the presidential run. This is not one political idea against the other. This is a fight for the existence of American democracy, and the rule of law, and the Constitutional itself. The other side is an extremist authoritarian police state.
Vote.
