The biggest challenge in 2024 is to get enough people to actually listen to what Trump and those around him are openly, consistently, and explicitly promising to do once they get back to power.
It is utterly deranged, and discounting it as just rhetoric would be a disaster.
Let this one resonate a while: No meaningful checks on abuse of the Insurrection Act, which Trump is constantly promising to invoke; no reliable safeguards whatsoever.
Please read the whole piece by Ron Brownstein: These are the stakes in the 2024 election, outlined with sickening clarity.
I’m getting a lot of “Trump promised to build The Wall in 2016 and that never happened, so this is all just more empty threats from a bunch of clowns” comments.
A lot of people simply do not grasp how fundamentally different the situation going into a second Trump presidency would be.
