There is a real threat to our
democracy. I will say it directly! Electing Donald Trump as President in 2024
could very quickly end this democracy. And I believe that it’s still worth
saving. People before us and among us have fought and died for it.
Some points:
- Trump is
not a good businessman. Arrogance and narcissism are NOT the
characteristics of a good leader. Vulnerability and an understanding of
human beings? That’s what makes a true leader. He has stepped on people to
achieve wealth and has bragged about it.
- Trump
does not believe in the rule of law. And without that, we become a
third-world country, period!
- He fueled
an insurrection against the United States. He violated his oath of office.
According to the 14th Amendment, he should be disqualified from
office.
- Trump’s
words clearly show he is racist. His rhetoric is Hitler-like. He doesn’t
believe we are at all equal, and he believes himself to be smarter,
better, and more insightful than anyone. In a word, that’s just dangerous!
- There is so much more about him that is too numerous to list here.
Many of his supporters have no
real understanding of how dangerous he is to our freedoms and our place in the
world.
Moreover, the fact that so many
support him is very bewildering to me! I am scared for future generations. I
say this as a moderate Democrat who is not at all happy with the Democratic
Party. And I have voted Republican in general elections.
So disagree with me if you want.
Unfriend me if you like. But I implore you think of what hangs in the balance
if this man gets elected.
