Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Listen To Him

In an interview with Time (that still exists?), Trump said he would unleash the military on non-citizens and would not commit to a peaceful concession if he loses. 

So, again, for those upset about Biden's support for Israel - and it's understandable to wish things were different - Trump would be sending in the military to scour campus protests for non-citizens to expel them from the country. He also is willing to unleash civil conflict if he loses.

So, yes Colin Jost is right when he says, "The Republican candidate for president owes half a billion in fines for bank fraud and is currently spending his days farting himself awake during a porn star hush money trial and the race is tied? The race is tied. Nothing makes sense anymore." However, Trump can't help himself when it comes to doubling down on his worst impulses.

He's telling you what it's going to be like, and it will be as bad as anything since 1865.
