The court challenges to Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional acts are critically important, but if Democrats want to stop him, they must be successful at the polls. If they want to do this, they must be specific, angry, and loud. They need to find a way to capture the news cycle, to challenge Trump’s 24/7 presence. Appearances on MSNBC just won’t do it.
Paul Revere didn’t go home and talk to his neighbors. We need the equivalent of the midnight ride, warning Americans that while they may support support Trump’s deportations (or any of his other moves) they are losing their democracy in the process and allowing a corrupt dictator to seize power.
I cannot understand why the financial markets aren’t freaking out more over the “loss of control” of US Treasury, payment systems and regular accounting practices and rules. Markets love to freak over “debt ceiling” nonsense but this seems more like a direct attack on the system unlike the theoretical hit on the so-called “full faith and credit” of US gov’t. Trump and Bannon believe chaos is the method and the goal. We’re told markets like stability. I can’t reconcile these competing narratives.
