The transformation into a dictator is now complete: tonight Donald J. Trump, wannabee fascist despot that he is, entirely rejected the election, the election results, voting, and democracy itself. Trump refused to agree to peacefully transfer power to the candidate that actually wins the election. There you have it: if he loses Donald Trump will not agree to leave office. He will use all the levers of government, all the powers at his disposal, to try and maintain his position as President of the United States irrespective of the will of the voters and the Constitution.
Tonight Trump, when asked if he would allow a peaceful transfer of power, said "Get rid of the ballots and there won't be a transfer of power . . . there will be a continuation." Trump just said he rejects the election, rejects voting, rejects democracy and will not accept ANY results that don't have him remaining in the White Houses. He doesn't want ballots or voting, AT ALL. He called ballots "a hoax." He has repeatedly said that ballots are a scam, that "the ballots are out of control." He has also this week said that he expects that the Supreme Court will decide who the next President, hence his urgency to fill the RBG seat, that the new Supreme Court will "get rid of the ballots." “There won’t be a transfer, frankly,” he continued “there’ll be a continuation.”
This comes on top of reports from The Atlantic that Trump's campaign team is actively discussing nullification of election results in various states by Republican state legislators who would in this scenario take back the right to name Electors to the Electoral College and name the Electors themselves instead of respecting the actual election results of voters and ballots. It comes on top of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump to dispose of mail-in ballots of all forms. And it comes on top of another hundred forms of disenfranchisement and corruption that the fascist's administration has already engaged in to rig the "election" in his favor.
So there it is, there's no debate now, he won't leave office, he doesn't want a democracy, or voting, or the rule of law, or the Constitution, or the United States of America. That's it, he's calling for his unilateral dictatorship, the kingdom of Trump the first.
The ONLY question now, is will his Republican minions go along with it. Will GOP Senators accept a dictatorship of Trump? Given their behavior and callousness over the past four years we can only imagine that, with a couple exceptions (Romney maybe), they will support the orange dictator. Will his 40% base of support chose dictatorship over democracy? Clearly the MAGA hat nut jobs violently charging into cities guns in hand to shoot at peaceful protestors will. The only question is how many of that group break off and stand up for the Constitution, the United States of America, and democracy itself.
So there it is, we are now in 1933 Germany and the only question is will you support Hitler/Trump or will you fight and push against it. Will you stand for democracy or will you support a dictatorship. Will you see this amazing experiment called "American democracy" continue, or will you let it die overnight at the hands of a mentally unfit, evil, sick, orange Nazi traitor who will not hesitate to imprison, torture or kill every last one of us if it keeps him in power.
The choice is yours America. . .
UPDATED:
Mitt Romney condemns Trump, thank you Senator. “Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus,” Romney wrote on Twitter. “Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable.”
