Trump’s belief that he will be reinstated, alongside Flynn’s hope for a coup underscores how patently absurd these 2024’ers sound when they say what we really need is some sterilized version of Trumpism, or Trumpism with a smile.

A smile won’t fix it. There’s no silver lining.

Trumpism threatens our constitutional system by its nature—the threat is what fuels it. There is no “middle way.” You are either with it or against it. It doesn’t offer ideas. It doesn’t want a debate. It doesn’t even want an election. It just wants power at any cost. Defeat it.

The GOP has taken a disturbing anti-military & anti-US intelligence turn in the last two years or so. It’s sharp.

Tucker jumped on Gen. Milley for his saying he reads books. He called him a “pig.”

They routinely go after the military as “woke.”

They distrust almost immediately anything our FBI and other intelligence agencies say & Trump praised the KGB.

That is not a pro-America posture..

They like to say they are “America First”—but “America” for them almost never includes the institutions that are American. Things like the Constitution, the military, our intelligence, our DOJ, our judges, elections, our economy—they distrust almost everything about our country.
