Former President Donald Trump’s indictment for trying to subvert the 2020 election has some of his fiercest critics believing these charges will not keep Trump from reclaiming the White House.
The unprecedented details of a U.S. President hitting such levels of depravity and ruthlessness to hang onto power has to be a call to arms for all sane Americans, according to a statement from Reed Galen and Rick Wilson, co-founders of the Lincoln Project.
“He IS the Republican nominee. He IS leading in the polls against Joe Biden,” said the statement from the project that’s become known for ads and videos skewering Republican extremism. “The MAGA GOP is a cult that no longer cares about the rule of law and wants to send Trump back to the White House. No indictment is going to stop his campaign.”
A New York Times/Siena College poll released Tuesday found that President Joe Biden is in a neck-and-neck race with the 45th President, who started the day with two criminal indictments against him.
Biden and Trump are tied at 43% apiece in a hypothetical rematch in 2024, according to the poll.
The progenitors of the Lincoln Project, which bills itself as a pro-democracy effort, say the battle is becoming increasingly urgent, given the lengths the indictment shows that Trump went to perpetuate the “Big Lie” that he won the election.
The indictment contends Trump tried to recruit fake electors to subvert the legal vote, lied repeatedly despite warnings about the damage he was doing and knew that he was lying.
“All Americans must realize the only choice before voters is between a functioning democracy versus a disgraced former President who tried to overthrow the government,” the Lincoln Project’s statement reads. “There is only one functioning party in America that cares about the rule of law and believes in democracy — and President Joe Biden is its candidate.”

Dem campaigning in 2024 should be at least 2/3rds anti-Trump vs. pro-Biden.
The US electorate should be made terrified of the prospect of the openly planned Trump/GOP fascism and oŕgy of vengence.
Save AMERICA !

The whole point for Trump voters is ending the USA. They don’t like the USA as it is. They prefer it “MAGA.” Trump gets back in, the cleansing will resume.
I would say the cleansing would “begin” rather than “resume,” except the most unhinged MAGAs were already murdering “others” during that one Trump presidency that came to pass, thinking they could away with it because Trump.
And Rhonda, if anything he says or does is to believed, is just as bad or worse than Trump.

Good mornting America,

If Trump gets back in, January 6th really will look like a regular day of normal tourists at the Capitol relative to what folks would be likely to do. But hopefully everybody will just show up to vote.

Will the FBI, for main example, “go quietly?”
I suppose it depends in part on number and positions of eager Quislings.
The CIA would have little trouble going fascist. It’s been an agency goal outside the US for its whole history.

You’re exactly right. MAGA voters think they’re voting for a Trump coup (one that works). Really they’ll be voting for a military coup or FBI coup or CIA coup or basically whichever heavily armed governmental body get its shit together the fastest to be like Nancy Reagan and Just Say No to the next Trump coup.
