How President Trump Would Run Roughshod Over Our Democracy

A political simulation conducted by nearly 200 former officials and other experts came to a worrying conclusion about a second Trump term.

FTA:

This May and June, leaders from Washington's policy, political, legal, and national security communities got together to imagine what for many of us remains almost unthinkable: how the United States might change in the wake of a Donald Trump victory in November. The centerpiece of the effort, known as the Democracy Futures Project, was a series of five nonpartisan simulation exercises that envisioned different ways Trump and his administration might dismantle key elements of our democracy.

If there was one core conclusion from the simulations, which brought together nearly 200 experts, it was this: We had better do everything in our power to get out the vote for Kamala Harris and the Democrats in November, because there is currently no effective Plan B on the horizon if Trump returns to the White House.

Here's what he would do:

Pack the court
Abolish private health insurance
Allow convicted felons who are currently in prison to vote
Legalize all border entry
Eliminate bail
Confiscate guns with a pittance recompense
Abolish the filibuster in order to pass the Green New Deal ... .

Oh, wait. These are all bullet points Harris has promoted.

Carry on ... .
