This book is not simply a retrospective of the Trump presidency. It is a warning; a dire warning. Trump is preparing to run again in 2024. His base is intact and he is maintaining a very vocal and physical presence in the media. You say he cannot possibly win if he runs again. Really? Isn’t that what was said in 2016 when he trailed Hillary Clinton by double digits in the polls with just days to go before the general election?
Consider this scenario…A man is elected president. He uses his proxies to incite civil unrest, attack state capitols, attempt to kidnap elected officials, and shut down transit. The president declares Martial Law, which is justified when civilian authority has ceased to function, is completely absent, or has become ineffective. Further, martial law suspends all existing laws, as well as civil authority and the ordinary administration of justice.
Does all this sound familiar? It could be Recep Erdogan of Turkey, Viktor Orban of Hungary, Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan, Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Vladimir Putin in Russia. Actually, they are the goals of Donald Trump. And in this case his proxies are the Alt. Right, The Proud Boys, QAnon, White Supremacists, Nazi Sympathizers, The Oath Keepers, the Groyper Army and conspiracy theorists.
Let me assure you of two things. One, if Donald Trump is reelected, he will immediately attempt to repeal the 22nd amendment, allowing him to run for office indefinitely. Two, if he sees, or simply believes an election is turning against him, he will make every effort to declare martial law. You may think this is far fetched? Donald learned what power feels like in his first term and he wants it again. And the next time he will not make the same mistakes that led to him losing that power in 2020.
Allow me to say this again, if a general, or even a mid-term election is going to end his presidency or deny him the ability to pass his legislative agenda, Donald Trump will make every effort to create chaos and to declare martial law. Then the only voice you will hear on TV or radio or on the internet will be those that support his policies. The rights and privileges you assumed were sacrosanct will be gone.
While you watch Dancing with the Stars, The Voice, Netflix, Dr. Pimple Popper, reruns of Seinfeld, your rights will evaporate right before your eyes. It will happen so fast you will not even have the chance to protest.
