The presidential election of 2024 was an extraordinarily momentous and peculiar affair in the history of the United States. It pitted the first Black Vice-President, Kamala Harris, against the first convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and openly authoritarian aspirant, Donald Trump.

Trump’s craving for unchallenged dictatorial powers has been evident in his extremist rhetoric that embraces the sort of strongman reign enjoyed by his heroes, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. He shamelessly advocates for reforms that give him sway over the other co-equal branches of government. He threatens to silence the free press. He ignores the Constitution and its limits on executive power. And he isn’t shy about declaring his supremacy over the whole of government, as he did explicitly in his inauguration address.

Throughout much of the 2024 campaign, Democrats staunchly stood up for democracy and the principles that have defined American freedom for more than two centuries. They emphatically warned of the dangers posed by Trump’s pursuit of a neo-fascist agenda inspired by another one his idols, Adolf Hitler, whose book of speeches Trump kept at his bedside, according to his ex-wife.
The Trump v Hitler comparisons practically wrote themselves. And Trump did little to discourage them. In fact, he seemed to regard them as compliments. Both Harris and President Biden spoke movingly about Trump’s threat to democracy and affinity for fascism. However, after the election, all of that seemed to evaporate. Biden and Harris attended Trump’s inauguration and greeted Trump to the White House. These absurd pleasantries were notice by Charlamagne tha God in a segment on Thursday’s episode of “The Daily Show” (video below)…
“What about the Democratic politicians who spent four years calling Trump the new Adolf Hitler, and then started doing stuff like this. I’m sorry. If you tell us someone is Hitler, you have to at least act like he’s Hitler. […] In fact, here’s the energy I wanted to see more of on Monday:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: All these journalists are, like, Congresswoman, are you going to the inauguration? Let me make myself clear. I don’t celebrate rapists. So no, I’m not going to the inauguration.
“See? That’s right. That right there, that’s backbone. That’s principle. Man, I’m gonna miss AOC when she’s deported to Nicaragua.
“Listen man…Donald Trump won this election by a little over two million votes and Democrats are acting like he’s unstoppable. Do you remember how Republicans acted when Biden won by seven million votes? […] They tried to impeach Biden from day one for the crime of getting elected. I like that energy though. They weren’t worried about alienating Democrats. They said f**k Democrats. They riled up their base and it worked. Today Democrats are patting themselves on the back for allowing a peaceful transfer of power. And I have no problem with conceding the election. But don’t concede the Constitution.
“Democrats, I am begging you. For once, treat Republicans the way they treat you. And treat Trump as if you believed that everything you’ve said about him is true.”
‘Nuff said! Democrats, we’re all begging you. Trump is an imminent threat to democracy. He’s a foaming-at-the-mouth fascist. and we all need to treat him like one.
