According to Schmidt, Trump is a "fascist" who "incited violence against the people of the United States as the Capitol of the United States fell to a seditious mob" on January 6. And the "fascist" movement that Trump has promoted, Schmidt warned, won't be going away after Trump leaves office on January 20.
Schmidt told Scarborough and Brzezinski, "This threat must be crushed. It must be annihilated. This threat must be met head on . We are in for a long fight . It will last years."

(2,626 posts)There will always be those who despise Democracy. If they can't take it down completely, they will attempt to water it down, dilute it for those they deem unworthy.
Our Democracy will continue to evolve, thrive, become more equitable, more unified, more uplifting. That is the beauty of Democracy. And it scares the hell out of the tyrants to imagine what will happen to their ambitions to rule the world should the people stand united in the center of the embrace of Democracy's Liberty and Justice.
