Trump dismisses warnings that his victory would threaten democracy and says Biden is the real threat (CNN)

Notice the little tricks that Trump continually uses to brainwash his magats. One, use childish name callling to the exteme against your opponents. Two, use very simple terms your lemmings can understand like hoax. And never ever concede an inch.

(And it's funny that in reciting that stream of whines about Russia, Russia, Russia, etc., he's conjuring up the Brady Bunch. )


By Eric Bradner and Alison Main, CNN

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday characterized warnings that his victory in 2024 would represent a threat to democracy as a “hoax” and “Democrat misinformation.”

The former president, who faces federal and state charges stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, said in a speech hosted by the New York Young Republican Club that President Joe Biden “is the real threat to democracy.”

“Can you believe it? This is their new line, you know,” Trump said. “Here we go again — ‘Russia, Russia, Russia,’ ‘Mueller, Mueller, Mueller,’ ‘Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.’ One hoax after another.

“But no, I’m not a threat. I will save democracy. The threat is Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump said. “And that’s what it is, it’s a hoax. We call it now the threat-to-democracy hoax, because that’s what it is.”

One of my favorite Jeremy Irons’ lines seems appropriate here.

Apparently the facts do not matter to him or his MAGAt followers.

Unemployment at the LOWEST numbered in 50 years.
MORE people working than ever before.
Inflation DOWN to lowest levels.
GDP is UP from last year at this time.
MORE Americans earning higher wages.
Unions are STRONGER.

We all have work to do people. This election is going to be damn close and we CANNOT lose ALL that we have worked for.
