[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-16 Trump will be DEFEATED in 2024. But, have no doubt, his LOSS will hold major consequences, for ALL of us. You should know by now - A Trump return to power would be catastrophic for Ukraine. And for ALL of Europe. The Middle East? Equally HORRIFIC. Together we will DEFEAT this psychopath but KNOW THIS... What will happen HERE in the USA holds the potential to be just as BAD. Was there ever any doubt? Trump WILL DENY his 2024 DEFEAT. And he WILL INCITE his rabid cult followers to VIOLENCE. This is an ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. My hat is off to AlterNet Media. Finally, a news outlet with the COURAGE to tell it like it IS. Seek this article out… AlterNet Media - “We're watching the largest and most dangerous 'cult' in American history” by: Seth D. Norrholm Mr. Norrholm got this absolutely RIGHT. There is NO “middle ground” in the words and actions displayed TODAY by Trump, his GOP enablers — or his MAGA cult followers. I will quote Mr. Norrholm’s words here because they are just that important. “There is no middle ground on treasonous, conspiratorial, fraudulent behavior – these are crimes and, arguably, the worst crimes one could commit against their own country. There is no middle ground on slavery. There is no middle ground on allowing Americans to die through inaction in response to natural disasters and global health crises. There is no middle ground on gunning down school children or wearing an AR-15 rifle pin and throwing away a pin to remember a Uvalde victim. There is no middle ground on jeopardizing national security and retaining and sharing classified documents. There is no middle ground on breaking campaign finance (i.e., hush money schemes) laws. There should be no middle ground on tolerance of crime, period”. “Although members of the GOP still refer to themselves as a political party with principled stances, the reality is they have now morphed into a domestic terror organization and to use the umbrella term, a cult – the largest and most dangerous cult in American history”. Trump’s poisonous rhetoric grows more extreme by the day. His dog whistles are increasing in severity as the full realization of his impending loss begins to set in. He is now calling J6 insurrectionist’s “warriors”. THIS is what happens when a high profile CRIMINAL like Donald Trump is allowed to REPEATEDLY escape justice and any form of accountability. All we can do now is DEAL with the aftermath. Both around the world and right here at home. We’ve tried to diminish the truth of our situation for far too long. Seeking a lost “bi-partisan” middle ground that has gone the way of the dinosaurs. The damage Trump has already caused will take a GENERATION to rectify. It’s truly time to END the cult of MAGA, and we have reached the point of no return. There is now no escaping the continued CHAOS Trump will ferment. It gives me no joy to say these things to you, and I WEEP for the decline of the nation I love. Tortured at the hands of one vile individual who has corrupted the very souls of so many Americans. I, for one, REFUSE to deny what I see and hear with my own eyes & ears. November is our LAST CHANCE to turn the tide of ignorance and hate which has destroyed the bedrock of our democratic process — TRUTH ITSELF. The future of our nation, and indeed the entire world now rests in our hands. We must choose to ACT. DO IT with YOUR VOTE. VoteBlue24 - Across the ballot in your state - #BidenHarris24 VOTE. MAGA. OUT. ALL OF THEM.
