I know I can paint a dire picture of the world to come after the 2024 elections…..some may think I am being fanciful but I am not….I am however very worried about our rights and freedoms if the election turns out all wrong….and it is looking bad for the Americans that love their democracy.
The MAGA shock troops are waiting for the word…..
Donald Trump’s “MAGA shock troops” are signaling that if he’s elected in 2024, he will be punishing his enemies, including many of the journalists who reported on him for the past 8 years — an endeavor that will be “Job No. 1,” Robin Abcarian writes in The Los Angeles Times.
Abcarian says that demonizing the press is a tactic that Trump has long employed, as evidenced by past comments where he’s said the press is “truly the enemy of the people” and that journalists are “scum” and “the absolute worst.” Trump has also said he wants to weaken the country’s libel laws to make it easier to sue the press — with the support of some Supreme Court justices.
“This country’s political system is flawed, no doubt about it. A presidential candidate can win the popular vote in a landslide and still lose the White House,” Abcarian writes.

“Scheming partisans can draw maps designed to keep them in power endlessly and pass laws designed to depress voter turnout to their benefit. But haven’t we always believed, deep in our bones, that the American free press could never be silenced, that the 1st Amendment protects us from government censorship, and that a well-functioning Fourth Estate really is what keeps democracy safe?”

If you are a blogger that is critical of Trump and his desires for total control then you are a writer and will be handled.
Everyone that has been super critical of Trump and his desires needs to be alert and leery…..
Retribution and revenge awaits with a Trump win.

Someone needs to wake the MSM to the fact that they are not reporting the dangers of these Right wing zealots….
“Violence is a part of America’s culture,” the Black Power militant H. Rap Brown once said. ”It is as American as cherry pie.”
Another equally American tradition is looking away from the problem when it comes from the Right.
As researchers have repeatedly found, the Right is where political violence in America overwhelmingly originates. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies—an eminently respectable, bipartisan think tank—right-wing political violence accounted for more than 90 percent of all attacks or plots in the first half of 2020, far outpacing terrorism from any other source since 1990. And since 2020, it’s gotten increasingly worse. A Reuters investigation published in August found that U.S. political violence is worse than it’s been at any point since the 1970s. Of the 18 fatal acts of political terrorism they counted since the Jan. 6 insurrection, only one came from the “Left” (involving a Democratic county official who allegedly murdered a reporter investigating him for corruption).
But you would never know this from listening to the mainstream media for most of the past three decades. And as calls to violence metastasize into a routine component of Republican politics—as when former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made the H. Rap Brown-like declaration that, should criminal prosecutions of Donald Trump continue, 2024 will be the last U.S. election “decided by ballots rather than bullets”—that denial may soon be among the biggest problems we have.
We’re in an Epidemic of Right-Wing Terror. Won’t Someone Tell the Press?
