I have spent months – years – telling you that Donald Trump is not just a “bad choice” for President, but a threat to virtually everything we hold dear. To our rights, our future, in many cases our very lives. This is not a drill. 

In a recent New York Times opinion, former acting Solicitor General Neil Katyal raised serious alarms about a potential constitutional crisis if Donald Trump wins next week – one even more severe than the events of January 6.

NEIL KATYAL: I think we are looking at a very possible constitutional crisis and one that’s going to make January 6, 2021, look like a dress rehearsal. “And this year, the rogues have had four years to go pro and perfect the big lie.

JORDAN REID: And just to hammer home the potential consequences of said constitutional crisis, let’s take a look at what the right is fighting for. On October 27 there was a Trump rally in my home city of New York, which I am not happy about, and here were some of the sentiments expressed by Trump’s cronies.

[clip of Stephen Miller saying “America is for Americans and Americans only”]

For Americans only. Could you define “American” for me, Mr. Miller? 

And sure, Trump’s people came out and said Trump didn’t say those things, someone else said it, et cetera ad infinitum this is what he does. He puts out the dog whistle and lets other people do the dirty work.

That is a Nazi rally – the phrase even trended on X throughout the event. Those people are Nazis. They think calling Kamala Harris Samoan-Malaysian-whatever is a funny insult, with the insult being that whatever she is, she’s not white. 

How is this blatant willingness to dehumanize entire swathes of the United States population not alarming to virtually everyone? Because guess what, these guys don’t actually care about protecting unborn babies, or saving your jobs from immigrants, or any of the positions they spout. They care about power, and about money. Today it’s the Puerto Ricans who are a garbage pile, and tomorrow it might be you. Because they. Don’t. Care. About. You. 

His supporters have shown they’re willing to get dirty for their cult leader. I don’t think that’s a question; the only question is how far they’ll go. 

Anyway. Happy election week. I don’t know. It’ll all be over soon?
