“FWIW I think this is gibberish, rather than a vow to end democracy. But the fact that I’m not sure speaks volumes,” tweeted media critic Dan Froomkin Friday night.
Donald Trump told the Turning Point USA Believers Summit on Friday that if only they would vote for him this time they would never have to vote again. He’d see to it, Trump promised. “We’ll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”
Even if there are still elections, there will be no point to voting. That’s how his dictator buddies do it. They will be “fixed” for good after he’s implemented Project 2025.
“Can you believe they put that thing in writing?” Vice President Kamala Harris asked a campaign rally crowd in Milwaukee this week.
How many times must normal Americans hear Trump and his MAGA cult make their intentions plain before taking them seriously?
It’s bad enough that there is an informal Caste system in this unperfected land with “created equal” in its charter. Republicans have long sought to restructure the United States as government by hereditary royalty and landed gentry, the kind Americans shed blood to cast off in the Revolutionary War. But even that oh-so British model is too genteel for a MAGA Republican Party aroused by strongman Vladimir Putin’s Russian autocracy.

And. They. Vote. I’m not saying they shouldn’t. It’s their right in a country in which the consent of the governed matters. It’s just that if more of them vote than those of us committed to preserving our freedoms, it won’t.
The dog whistles are now fog horns. MAGA Republicans now have the wife of a Supreme Court justice auditioning for the role of Betsy Ross in the new Christian nationalist autocracy/thocracy. They mean to turn the very idea of America on its head.
Trump’s Christian nationalists will caste you out if you give them a chance.
