“The resistance to a new Trump administration has already started,” the New York Times reported yesterday. The piece was based on interviews with more than thirty officials of organizations that are preparing for the potential re-election of Donald J. Trump.
They claim democracy is doomed and the “radical changes with authoritarian overtones” that Trump plans “include using the Justice Department to take revenge on his adversaries, sending federal troops into Democratic cities, carrying out mass deportations, building huge camps to hold immigrant detainees, making it easier to fire civil servants and replace them with loyalists and expanding and centralizing executive power.”
“ What Trump and his acolytes are running on is an authoritarian playbook. So now we have to democracy-proof our actual institutions and the values that we share,” said Patrick Gaspard, the chief executive of the CAP Action Fund. But the NYT assures us the “Times journalists are not allowed to endorse or campaign for candidates or political causes. That includes participating in rallies and donating money to a candidate or cause.”
Storing up mifepristone pills, mass protests, legal challenges and a ”flurry of regulations” from the Biden administration are some of the precautions progressive organizations are taking.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded to the article: “It’s not surprising Biden and his cronies are working overtime to stymie the will of the American people after they vote to elect President Trump and his America First agenda. Their devious actions are a direct threat to democracy.”
Cheung has a point: if the voters elect Donald Trump, wouldn’t it be anti-democratic for the progressive “resistance” to try and stymie his agenda?
Classic Alinsky - accuse others what you’re guilty of thereby getting off scott free.
Can’t allow them to get away with it anymore.
