Trump is not even making this a secret. It is mind-boggling minorities, even African Americans, women, independents are not enthused about 2024? Really? Do our youngsters know the mayhem that will happen under a Trump dictatorship? Why are Democrats not even educating the voters about the danger more seriously. If women think abortion is under threat, can you imagine what will happen in a dictatorship? Do independents realize they are going to be persecuted. Any non-MAGA will be. An independent is anti-establishment.
Trump will activate the insurrection act the very first day. If liberals think they will be on the roads protesting Trump's actions, think again. I am tired of the media reporting that the Georgia case is not impacted by a Trump win. Trump is allowed to suspend the constitution and Fani Willis will be out of power. Every Proud Boy will be released. What is wrong with our people? Nations around the world will withdraw special travel status where Americans do not need a visa to enter.
I am telling you-Hillary was correct. These are the deplorables.
I do not know what Julie Chavez is waiting for. At least some kind of education about "what dictatorship is" is in order. They need to build the foundation for this now. Democrats need to take the risky strategy of warning GOP voters to elect some nominee who will follow the Constitution. Democratic Underground, MSNBC, Salon will be history under a Trump dictatorship. I have written to Julie Chavez, coordinator of Biden 2024. There is no evidence she realizes that there is an undercurrent of support for dictatorship within the MAGA and Republicans. Is Biden thinking that America is all this nice people who understand issues. There is no such thing on the GOP side.
Hope Biden campaign and Democrats wake up soon.

(201 posts)Dump is not even bothering to run a campaign. He merely goes from town to town and makes threats. From his political enemies to people born in the wrong place. From people of color to LGBTQ's. He speaks of the misery and death that will come to millions of innocent people should he return to power.
Once a person is gone they are gone.
Dump must not be allowed to succeed. GOTV and get loud: for democracy and most importantly for millions of people whose lives depend on stopping Dump

(4,741 posts)When you live in a household that has Fox blaring all day, that has hate talk radio blaring in their cars wherever they go, when they go to churches where people share right-wing views, and you really can't grasp how they might wind up like their hateful parents?
And then you can't imagine how young people might buy into the traitor thug belief system?
Really?

(4,741 posts)Other than the Democrtic reps warning about it, the Senators warning about it, and various other party appartchiks warning about it, given the chance? I mean, they are trying to get the message out there *despite* the traitor media, who do all they can to ignore everything Dems have to say while promoting the traitor thugs at every turn.
I mean how do *you* know about all of this bad stuff, and that they're bad at all? Bloody osmosis? You know about it because *DEMOCRATS* are talking about it!
Sheesh.
Some people are just too bloody-minded to see reality.

(609 posts)I know about it but when I bring it to relatives and friends, they do not know. And some of these are not even MAGA.
By the way, I know my state is completely messed up although Johnson County and Douglas County in Kansas are okay.
I hope they will run ads in critical states to show what dictatorship looks like. Even Republicans do not realize what it is. Many think it is okay since they will get their tax cuts and abortion bans and voter suppression that assures GOP rule.

But for people struggling with wages that aren't high enough to cover outrageous rents, medical debt, credit card debt, no hopes of ever owning a home or feeling comfortable enough to have children, etc....
They may feel there's not much democracy already

(609 posts)Rise in COVID, hospitalizations, horse pills or some other crap as solution for COVID, economic decline. Biden administration came and got the COVID vaccine out to the public, I do not see any masks now. Yes, inflation was high but that is part of the global economics.
I will not trade democracy for dictatorship for some cheap oil from Putin.

(609 posts)Those are part of the global economy. No one asked for COVID. To combat COVID, measures had to taken that unfortunately resulted in inflation. This is market economy. We do not want Trump dictatorship, mayhem, loss of life for a false promise of low costs. Costs will be determined by the market economy. Not Trump.
