35. Throughout the course of this campaign and way before then

Nov 2024

I've been posting articles and op-eds from not only Democrats and factions of the left who supposedly have been 'deliberately misleading people' re the imminent demise of democracy as we know (correction) KNEW it, and 'conning people into voting for Democrats via fear' (allegedly),

but from experts, historians, journalists, and political analysts, both right and left of the spectrum, who've sounded repeated and urgent WARNINGS of how the proposals under Trump's MAGA party, including Project 2025, and their actions with regard to voter suppression, stacking the courts with far right justices, judge shopping, and multi-front so-called "culture wars" against anti MAGA ideology (aka ANYTHING considered "woke" ) have and WILL all contribute to the unraveling and demise of the checks and balances that once gauranteed our democracy.

Hell, one would think, just the notion of a trifecta right winged control of all branches - completely beholden to Trump, including a SCOTUS willing to render him above the law, and a government filled with LOYALISTS, should be alarm enough.

One would think....

NEWSFLASH: The threat is REAL, it has long been planned, it is in the works, and has been. It is NOT a hoax, nor a con job. And I consider it an insult to our intelligence to suggest it as such, given the wealth of evidence to the contrary.

I think those who dismiss (or perhaps refuse to believe) the threat, are just as foolish as those who argued what the Supreme Court wouldn't do (surprise surprise), what Trump's prosecutors and the courts wouldn't do, what cannot happen, etc. etc.
