Fascism doesn’t sit well in U.S.
One good reason to vote in this year’s election is to prevent Trump’s MAGA nonsense from metastasizing into government policy.
For all their talk of freedom, Trump partisans are eager to weaponize government against everyone who doesn’t look and think like them. They claim the Department of Justice has been weaponized against Trump by the Biden administration, despite Biden having bent over backwards not to interfere with DOJ — either to harm Trump or to protect his own son.
Freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the right of peaceable assembly are enshrined in the First Amendment. Trump threatens all of them.
He takes it for granted that the only people whose rights matter is himself and, by extension, those loyal to him. He treats the independent press as enemies of the people. He wants to use federal troops to suppress protesters he doesn’t like.
When he was president, Trump claimed that Article 2 of the Constitution “lets me do whatever I want.” Now the Supreme Court, with a far-right majority engineered by Sen. Mitch McConnell, has granted him immunity from prosecution for presidential acts. Trump claims this is necessary to prevent routine prosecution of former presidents, despite him being the first ever prosecuted.
A Trump supporter on social media proudly noted that Trump donated his salary as president. This ignores his shameless profiteering from the presidency.
His grift included running up charges for the Secret Service when it protected him during stays at his resorts, profiting by foreign government representatives staying at his hotel when they were in Washington, daughter Ivanka obtaining dozens of trademarks from the Chinese government, and son-in-law Jared receiving $2 billion from the Saudi government after leaving the White House.
Dear reader, if you believe Trump is a selfless patriot and humble servant of the people, I’d like to sell you Greenland. Did you know this modest man autographs Bibles?
