Showing Original Post only (View all)Steve Schmidt: Donald Trump will be the nominee in 2024 . . . [View all]
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1418948015923122188.htmlDonald Trump will be the GOP nominee in 2024. The 2022 and 2024 elections will decide if democracy survives in this country. It is as simple as that. Donald Trump repeatedly asked advisors to cancel the 2020 election because of Covid. He wanted the US military to open fire
against peaceful protesters. He is profoundly dangerous. His movement is profoundly dangerous. Trump has embraced and emboldened extremist groups that include neo Nazis, white supremacists, fascist thugs, violent militias, anti semites and conspiracy loons. Trumps extremist
movement is sustained by donations from some of the largest companies and richest individuals in America. It is fueled by a Propaganda lie-machine that is hubbed by @FoxNews and sustained by a cacophony of lies and insanities that are spewed forth by lesser propagandists on
Talk radio, newspapers, streaming services ect. Trump and his lieutenants like @GOPLeader @GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz @RepMTG @laurenboebert @mattgaetz @Jim_Jordan @EliseStefanik @HawleyMO @TuckerCarlson have made their intentions perfectly clear. They have become faithless to
the Republic. They have chosen power over patriotism and in doing so have desecrated the sacrifice of every American Patriot who has ever fought to preserve and expand liberty. Delusions around who these people are and what they will do if they take political power in this
country again are just as crazy, and maybe more so, than the worst of the anti vaccine insanity. We have no excuses with regard to understanding the danger, corruption, lying, malice and bad faith of Trump and his movement. American democracy wont be lost in a coup or
insurrection. It will be lost in an election where the autocrats and fascists that have screamed their hostility to our highest ideals from the rooftop gets more votes than the pro democracy side. There will always be more people in America who reject autocracy and Trump than
Support him. The question is whether there are going to be enough to fight back against this or not. These two things can both be true. Joe Biden is a good man and doing a great job as @POTUS. Donald Trump and his fascist movement have had a very good 7 months. They arent
former anythings. They are a CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER. The Pro-Democracy coalition is sleep walking into the 22 election and the stakes couldnt be higher. What will we tell our grandchildren? I suppose the truth will be this; we lost our Republic to the people who told us
they despised it because the fools who should have defended it didnt believe they were telling the truth.
