How will history view the American people if we return Trump to the presidency in 2024, while knowing that he defied our Constitution by leading a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election?
Does history blame the German people for installing a deranged and dangerous man as their Fuhrer in the 1930s? Or are they excused for having been duped by an angry lunatic con man?
Like many other tyrants, Trump uses lies and fraud to stoke political violence. We all witnessed the shocking insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021. Trump now tries to whitewash the history of that day, calling it “a day of love.” His relentless attacks on immigrants remind us of how Hitler demonized the Jews.
Four-star Gen. Mark Milley has said that Donald Trump is “a total fascist.” Do Americans want to be remembered in history for handing the United States presidency to such a dangerous man?
