The public doesn’t understand the risks of a Trump victory. That’s the media’s fault.[yes. barf.]

The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win.

It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.

The US then “would resemble a banana republic”...

Deploying the military to crush protests is radical. So is putting your cronies and yes men in charge of justice. These moves would sound a death knell for American democracy.

Trump, meanwhile, is facing 91 criminal indictments in Atlanta, Miami, New York and Washington DC...

Newsroom leaders should be getting their staffs together to brainstorm how to do it. Right now.

With the election less than a year away, there’s no time to waste...

The more they reveal about President Trump, the greater, stronger, and bigger his support grows!

Of course, this is the opposite of what they want. TRUTH is very powerful, and TRUTH seekers see it shining between their lines.

Trump victory risks:

Britain pays its share of NATO.
Sanctions for Brits suppression of free speech.
Aneurisms and heart attacks for Brit Media figures

Wait. Those arent risks. Those are features.

A second term President Trump will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.

And this is bad, why?


The US under Trump “would resemble a banana republic”...

We already are.....Biden wholly succeeded at that.

We understand the dangers of:

1.5% inflation
$2.05 a gallon gas
$1.99 a gallon milk
Russia not invading her weaker neighbors
Iran’s nuclear weapons program shut down
The southern border sealed tight
Energy independence
Black unemployment at historically low levels
Mortgage rates at 2.5%
US citizens given priority at homeless shelters
The national debt half of what it is today

Those are “risks” most sane Americans are willing to take again.

Its only a risk to leftist communists. But the good thing for you leftist communist lovers, is there are many different nations you can chose from if you desire to live in that kind of political environment. Just don’t expect to return. You can remain their headache for the rest of your life on earth.

Trump is a community organizer. They need to get used to some resistance.

I hate to tell Margaret Sullivan that Trump deployed the military in January 2021. She’s a little tardy to the party. 😉

“The public doesn’t understand the risks of a Trump victory. That’s the media’s fault.[yes. barf.]”

right, because the American public can be lead in the “correct” direction only by REALLY effective propaganda ... and if we go the “wrong” way, the propaganda wasn’t “good” enough ...

All evidence is he will use the rule of law, not the govt.

THEY ARE VERY MUCH PROJECTING WHAT THEY ARE.

Gee.. a rabid leftist from Buffalo with in betweens at the NYT, WAPO and leftist schools doesn’t/won’t recognize that the very fears she portrays with a Trump win already exist under Biden.

Unless Trump kills his enemies, the ongoing coup de law will continue for ever

Trump lacks the gene to fight and kill
