Trump's cult members are already threatening violence if he loses the election in November.
Red Flags
** GOP Sen. Tim Scott was asked on Meet the Press if he would commit to accepting the election results if Trump lost?
"At the end of the day, the 47th president of the United States will be President Donald Trump...that is my statement."
By not directly answering, Scott's statement spoke volumes. Hell no! He'd attack the Capitol without hesitation if Trump told him to.
** The recent issue of Time Magazine featuring an interview with Trump revealing what he would do if he lost was enlightening. He hinted that leveraging political violence to achieve his goals was still on the table.
In the interview Trump bragged about supporting a mob mentality, his historical abuses of power, and being a dictator on day one. "I think a lot of people like it," he claimed.
Trumpian politicians and rabid followers fall all over themselves claiming they want a fair election, but... you can bet if their idol loses again there will be violence.
The open threat of not accepting the results of a presidential election casts a dark cloud of fear among the majority of Americans. They don't want to live in a fascist government if Trump prevails.
There's a growing feeling of resignation that Trump won't be held accountable in the courts, especially if he's re-elected.
Millions of Americans face the most important presidential election in over 200 years because it could be a turning point that sends us down the road to a dictatorship - effectively destroying the longest Democracy in the world.
As it Stands, our only hope is enough Americans turn out to vote and re-elect Joe Biden in six months from now.
