The Atlantic: Examining the very real threat of a 2nd Trump Presidency [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-12-04 https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/01/donald-trump-reelection-second-term-agenda/676119/ I tried to post this earlier today, but my draft somehow got deleted, so I am attempting once again! Please bear with me here. The Atlantic magazine is devoting their entire January/February 2024 special issue to warning us all of the danger that a second Trump term presents, with a total of 24 writers. Heads up: The Atlantic requires a subscription. This might be one exception to make it worth it to sign up. I believe this is the exactly the kind of journalism we need more of during this critical time, and it’s up to us here at Daily Kos to get the word out and spread it far and wide! We also need the help of whatever we can get from the mainstream media. It’s their job to warn us all, and tell the full truth. The time for “sleepwalking”, complacency, and trying to mince words is over. The time for “bothsidesism” is over. Don’t be afraid to use words like “fascism” and “Nazi” and “dictatorship” out loud! Don’t be afraid to say out loud what kind of person Trump really is and what he is threatening, with his own mouth. As Democrats, liberals, progressives, independents, former Republicans, environmentalists, lovers of democracy, decency, and the rule of law, and lovers of the U.S. Constitution, as well as lovers of human, animal , and plant life, we must mobilize together in 2024 like never before in order to defeat once and for all former President Donald Trump and reelect President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. No matter what our other differences might be, these commonalities should supersede everything else. I’m just as sick and tired of the former guy/orange blob/toxic narcissist as everyone else here is. Unfortunately, the threat he and MAGA Republicans present is not gone yet. But, there are still a lot more of us than MAGA Republicans. We did our jobs once in 2020 by soundly defeating Donald Trump and electing Joe Biden (against all the odds and harder to do with an incumbent), and we need to do it again in 2024. I fully believe that we can accomplish this again, and even exceed the work we did in 2020. We will make Trump wish he never ran for president! We also need full control of the House and Senate, enough to overcome the filibuster and people like Joe Manchin and Krysten Senema. This website gave me a sense of hope and motivation during 2020, and showed me exactly what we are capable of doing when we all work for it. We are in this together. We need to save democracy, and nothing less! We need a functioning government and to preserve the Rule of Law. We deserve a fighting chance against the Climate Crisis. We need to preserve a livable future for our children and grandchildren.
