Jenna Ellis told investigators a senior White House aide insisted to her that Trump was just going to “stay in power” despite losing the 2020 election.
The number of people attacking and attempted to alter America’s fundamental democratic systems in their favor is still frighteningly and disgustingly high. We are nowhere near in the clear, especially with so many knuckle-dragging morons willing to overlook the facts and undermine the truth in order to push their political agenda.
Until the MAGA Republicans unanimously and unambiguously acknowledge Trump’s loss in 2020, American democracy remains in real, existential danger.
Until low information voters on the center and the left unanimously and unambiguously acknowledge the real threats that fascist authoritarian movements in our country pose, American democracy remains in real, existential danger.
I really wish I could say that the only problem was the Trump people (who as of right now having Trump polling better than Biden, by the way), but the sad truth is that there are people like Melkath here who are seemingly more than happy to see an emboldened, unhinged, untethered and outwardly vindictive version of Trump rise to power once again, surrounded by even more like-minded yes-men than ever before.
Trump and the people around him made it abundantly clear to everyone that he had no intention of conceding in 2016 or 2020, even before election day. His actions and words on and after election day in 2020 made it even more obvious that he had no intention of facilitating a peaceful transition of power to any other government. Why on Earth would anyone even dare to seriously suggest that he would be willing to do so in 2028 under any circumstances?
We would truly be the world’s dumbest country to allow someone like him to take hold of power once again, especially knowing that he would be doing so with less constraints and even less intent to ever relinquish power to anyone else (Republican or Democrat, by the way). And yet here we are once again, at the start of an election year listening to dipshits and assholes on the internet (perhaps disingenuously) undermine the seriousness of the threats that we face.
The time to tolerate and humor these brazenly foolish ideas is long past, imo.
In 2024 you’re either on team Biden or team Trump, and anyone who is on Trump’s team is an enemy of democracy no matter what form of twisted bullshit rhetoric they decide to use to justify it.
Frankly this remains to be seen…
