The American experiment in democracy is facing some its most dire challenges during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. He has never been an advocate of government “of, by, and for the people,”<\/em> and he isn’t about to embrace those principles now.<\/p>\n

Abraham Lincoln’s hopes expressed in the Gettysburg Address couldn’t be more urgently needed today as the nation is engaged in a virtual Civil War between Trump and, well, pretty much everybody else who isn’t an indoctrinated Trump cultist. And if he has his way, the freedom and liberty that have been cherished goals for patriotic Americans for 250 years will sadly “perish from the Earth.”<\/em> The madness of Der Trump is literally threatening to rip apart the American Dream.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Trump articulated some of his most bizarre and frightening aspirations for the future of this country. In particular, he was asked about the dismal prospects for his MAGA Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections later this year. As reported by Reuters<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year\u2019s midterm elections…He boasted that he had accomplished so much that ‘when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump is justified in being frustrated by the electoral outlook for the GOP. Most polls show that Democrats are strong favorites to return to the majority in the House, and are well positioned to retake the Senate as well. Trump knows that if that happens, he will be subject to more accountability for his criminal misconduct than he has been with his MAGA flunkies running Congress. Including being impeached for the third time.<\/p>\n

So it isn’t especially surprising that an anti-democracy, wannabe dictator like Trump told Reuters that, in his opinion, “we shouldn’t even have an election.”<\/em> Trump has been angling for an excuse to either cancel elections, or so badly suppress voting, that the elections hardly matter. Most recently Trump floated the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, which could be used to prevent or delay the election. Exploiting the chaos he’s been deliberately causing in Minneapolis, Trump posted<\/a><\/strong> a lie-filled comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, saying that…<\/p>\n

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don\u2019t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course the politicians in Minnesota are not corrupt, they do obey the law, there are no professional agitators, and insurrectionists are not attacking ICE, who are provoking violence and assaulting innocent citizens.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, sought to sane-wash Trump’s threat to cancel elections at her press briefing. She was asked about why Trump keeps talking about canceling the election. She replied that “The president was simply joking.”<\/em> Because the thought of ending democracy in America is just so damn funny.<\/p>\n

Q: Why does Trump keep talking about canceling the election?LEAVITT: He's speaking facetiously <\/p>\n
