Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse



These are times unlike any other we have faced in our lives. A pandemic is ravaging our population, 1 in 5 households in the U.S. are food -insecure, and tens of millions of our neighbors worry that they will not be able to pay the rent. Now, President Donald Trump has admitted to seeking to rig our elections and undermine democracy by sabotaging the U.S. Postal Service.

Trump has shown us how much danger he can do to the courts, the rule of law, the free press and the environment in four years. A second Trump term would be far worse. For these reasons and many others, the stakes in this election feel higher than they have in any other since the Civil War. A defeat could leave the president and others close to him vulnerable to prosecution for crimes from tax fraud to obstruction of justice. For our enemies around the world, this is the best hope to further weaken a foe that has challenged and contained them for decades.

For these reasons, what is unfolding is not simply an election but an existential struggle between two ideas of who we are and what we should be. But, as of now, it is not shaping up as a fair fight.

...

This is not the first time America has faced foreign or domestic enemies who would weaken or destroy us. However, it is the first time that such an effort was led by the president of the United States, drawing on the full resources of the U.S. government and the support of the majority party in the U.S. Senate. As a consequence, we must combat this threat with even greater resolve, energy and ingenuity than those we have faced in the past. Or we must begin to prepare our apologies to generations to come.
