Right-wing legal talking heads are focusing on arguing that it is RIDICULOUS to say that a second-term Trump will be empowered by immunity to do horrific things, while carefully preparing to argue in seven months that it is RIGHT that Trump do horrific things which aren’t actually horrific anyway.
There is no depth to which Jonathan Turley will not sink. He’ll say that Trump will never do the outrageous things Trump threatens to do, and that there are laws in place to prevent it, then when Trump does them he will say the laws don’t apply and that Trump was forced to do the things by woke.
And there's a list! A genuine "this is what we intend to do" list! It is getting harder and harder to dismiss that list as unrealistic or unobtainable!
The number of right-wingers that are GENUINELY LOOKING FORWARD to using the full force of the state against their perceived enemies in 2025 is big!
This is the language that Democrats need to use. These people are un-American. The Supreme Court is making anti-American and pro-authoritarian rulings. Don't just make it about Trump. It is him, his party and the Supreme Court.
Don't be like other countries where the far-right has won elections. Don't leave anything angle on the table. Be frank and direct about the real threat to democracy. Criticize the mainstream media for not taking the threat seriously too.
I’d love to ask these people what their reaction to “The President ordered a Nuclear Missile strike on a Major City” would be like that isn’t downplaying it as, “no one would never do it.” or “look at the Democrats.”
Why invent hypotheticals? Trump believed that Covid would only kill people in "blue cities", so, he, shot down policies to prevent it. He chose to commit domestic bio-warfare in the hopes more of his enemies would die than his allies, and if some allies died, well, omelettes and eggs and all that.
He is absolutely awful. I'm embarrassed to say that when I first saw him in interviews in the mid 2000's I liked him. Apparently someone came and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse.
