The Moment of Truth

The reelection of Donald Trump would mark the end of George Washington’s vision for the presidency—and the United States.

I’m not a conservative myself, but I defy any conservative intending to vote for Donald Trump to read this comparison of Washington and Trump, and to honestly tell themselves afterwards that that they believe in America and its ideals.

      He is promising a programme of economic recession, trade war, an end to the free press and ethnic cleansing. That’s not how democracy works, it how it ends.

        Exactly. The guard rails that kept Trump in check and protected democracy in his first term will not be there for his second. They are making sure of that.

        If he gets in its 4 years suck it up and move on. Then in 4years time campaign harder against him. Thats how democracy works.

        What a terrible take. This is either an incredibly uninformed opinion, or a Trump troll not arguing in good faith.
