You Won't Have to Vote in Trump's Dictatorship
You Won't Have to Vote in Trump's Dictatorship
Trump is telling you his supervillain plot to sabotage US democracy. He will be anointed King over a white Christian nationalist utopia. Are we finally going to wake up and do something about it?
Imagine if President Joe Biden or VP Kamala Harris spoke at a rally and told an audience of progressive zealots to “get out and vote. Just THIS time. You won’t have to do it anymore, you know what? Four more years, it’ll be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore my beautiful Democrats. I love you Democrats.” What would happen? International outrage fueled by major headlines and cable news conversations for a month.
Well, that’s what Donald Trump told his voters at the Turning Point Action conference last night, except he referred to them as “Christians” instead of Democrats. In case you want to roll your eyes and chalk it up to one of his numerous brain farts, he drove home the point by adding, “you gotta get out and vote. In four years you won’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not gonna have to vote.”
No subtlety. No dog whistles. No hidden messages. No game of Taboo. He was crystal clear. If Donald Trump wins again, there won’t be any more voting. Why? Because you don’t need elections in a dictatorship. Furthermore, this is the second time he has said this.
As of Saturday night, this is still not leading the front pages of our legacy papers. It seems corporate media ran out of ambition and inspiration once it couldn’t assault President Biden for his age or slip ups. Speaking of verbal diarrhea, Trump again talked about Hannibal Lecter and was unable to say the word “abortion” at his rally, but since the bar is in hell for the twice-impeached vulgarian, nobody bats an eye or pays attention.
Thankfully, I keep receipts.
Along with others, I have been warning for years that Trump is a violent, active threat to our democracy. I take him literally and seriously. We said he wouldn’t leave peacefully, and we were told that we were being hysterical and reactionary. Then there was the violent January 6th insurrection and failed coup attempt against our free and fair election. Fast forward four years and the majority of Republican voters believe in the lie that Trump won the 2020 election. (He lost bigly.) To this day, Trump refuses to accept the 2020 results and he has praised the criminal insurrectionists as “hostages” whom he will pardon if re-elected.
At the horrible, no-good, terrible debate in which President Biden had a hoarse voice and disastrous performance, Trump refused three times to accept the 2024 election results if he lost. It’s clear the failed violent insurrection was just a dress rehearsal. MAGA extremists have been learning from their mistakes. Thanks to a corrupt Supreme Court, Trump will have the ability to be a “dictator” for more than a day and claim “absolute immunity” for any “official acts.” Maybe that includes his threat to terminate the Constitution? We’ll see. Richard Nixon must be cursing in his grave right now and shaking his fist at the heavens. Oh, if only he were President now!
In case I still haven’t convinced you of the very real, active threat, then allow me to point you towards Project 2025, which is the Trump blueprint for a coup. We’ve already forgotten that Kevin Roberts, the president of Heritage Foundation which published Project 2025, openly said we’re in the process of a second revolution and it’ll be bloodless if the left allows it to be. A video was just unearthed where Trump’s VP candidate and couch aficionado JD Vance endorsed Project 2025 and admitted, “We really need to be really ruthless when it comes to the exercise of power... I don't think there's a compromise that we're gonna come with... Unless we overthrow them in some way, we're gonna keep losing.” In case you missed it, JD Vance also wrote the foreward to Roberts’ upcoming book.
This is really subtle stuff here, folks.
I can’t control corporate media coverage that keeps giving a pass to Trump’s increasingly hostile threats against our freedoms, but I can do my best to warn the majority and sound the alarm. It will take a multicultural coalition to defeat and weaken Trump and MAGA’s aggressive plan to sabotage our democracy and take away our rights. Don’t allow yourselves to become complacent or ignorant.
The stakes are clear in 2024: a democracy or a dictatorship.
Choose wisely.
This goal of taking absolute and complete power began in earnest with the infamous Powell Memo to the US Chamber of Commerce in 1971. In that memo it spells out the detailed and precise roadmap to gain and keep power in America by the Corporate and Wall Street world. They have to date essentially fulfilled that memo's "call to arms" by taking political control of school boards, city councils all the way up the political and cultural chain to the federal level. They have, also, completed their goal of using their vast resources of money to buy off politicians and to direct donations to universities so that they could get rid of the "communist professors" corrupting our colleges! It has taken the GOP (aka now the MAGA Fascists Party) 50 years. They looked at the long range goals and made it happen year by year. Trump and MAGA are the end result of their intentional manifestation of having real absolute and total control of our country, lock, stock and barrel. It is WAY past time for decent people who have been asleep at the wheel these past 5 decades to GET INVOLVED in whatever capacity one is able. NOW or never.....literally.
Correct, Mark. Waj HAS nailed it. It cannot be said more clearly than he has stated. Cut and paste it and save it and send to everyone you know.
