Making Trump Impotent
TRUMP IS GETTING SERIOUS about ANTIFA, which is a state of mind, and, in his characteristically diabolically dishonest way, has decided is actually a well organized nationwide organization, membership cards and all, of radical left wing terrorists bent on America's violent destruction. ANTIFA is his enemy within, his version of Hitler's Jews. The fact that the recent "No King's" rally was, by all accounts, a glowing success, and the fact that the "No Kings" movement is essentially the same thing as ANTIFA, represents interesting if potentially volatile scenarios for the future, since the next No Kings rally is likely to be much larger than the recent one, and is already being planned. It is almsot surprising that hordes of I.C.E. cops and or batallions of National Guard did not descend on the rallies all across America's fruited plain, llingering and lurking ominiously nearby, seeking to march down streets filled with protesters, or actually disrupting them with violence. NO, that didn't happen this time, but what about next time? How much more is Trump going to endure, how much vigor opposition, before blowing his top altogether, and doing something dangerous, drastic, and deadly? These rumors of his declaring martial law and using the "Insurrection Act" to attack peaceful protests with violence and death are not at all unfounded, but rather, quite realistic and reasonable.. For a long time now, I have been believing and saying that Trump's support base will grow no further, that enybody who hasn't become a Trump supporter by now probably will never become one, and that therefore it will only shrink, as time and policy kick in, and Trump's policies, words, and behavior harmfully impact or simply disgust more and more people. Now, this seems to indeed be the case, as Trump's approval ratings have sunk to their lowest point ever, the MAGA rallies have stopped, and active opposition to him grows,in the polls, on the internet,and in the streets. On his first day in office in this second termTrump signed an executive order changing the constitution. No advisors, no Congress, no state legislatures participated in the process, which entailed only Trump's signature on a document he essentially wrote alone. The constitution was completely ignored, left out, violated. Rule by royal decree. Dictatorship, right off the bat. And, its only gotten worse since. This Trump dictatorship seems to enjoy the full approval and support of not only the registered Republican party, but of mainstream conservative America as well. That means that Trump has oresupport, comparatively, than Hitler had, at least arguably. What makes Trump dangerous an disastrous is not merely his ideology and actions, but rather, the fact that they can be and are being implemented by virtue of his rather substantial support base, consisting of tensof millions of people, even after all that has happened. Only the federal court system is saving us at this point. Otherwise, the government is Trump's accomplice. But there is a steady trickle of Trump supporters going rogue, and abandoning Trummp, as tariffs, government budget cuts, and other Trump policies adversely impact Repulicans as well as the rest of us. This gradual decline in the MAGA base, coupled with a steady increase in opposition in the media and in the streets, and Trump could perhaps be, if not removed from office and imprisoned, at least neutralized, rendered politically impotent, a de facto lame duck president as he slinks ignominiously out of office and into the dust bin garbage heap of tragic and disastrous history. Only this time, we the people must not allow his supporters to support his attempt to remain illegally in office by using lies and violent insurrection.
