With less than six months until the election, Democrats are desperately trying to drum up fear about what terrible fate will befall the country if Donald Trump retakes the White House.
Over the past few months, the Biden campaign and other Democrats have promoted the idea that democracy is threatened by the Democratic Party’s unfavorable candidate choices. Although they have ostensibly exhausted this “democracy is about voting” rhetoric, Biden supporters now seem intent on portraying former President Donald Trump as “democracy is about voting.” dictator in waiting.
California Rep. Maxine Waters (D), a longtime champion of mob-controlled street operations, appears happy to take this new hyperbole to new extremes.
Over the weekend, the 85-year-old Democrat resumed his campaign role as a conjurer of alternate history and paranoia and embarked on the campaign trail.
crazy rant Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show,” she not only articulated a new narrative, but also that right-wing Americans aligned with President Trump are planning a civil war, and that the Biden Justice Department is his ally. suggested that it should be monitored.

MSNBC talking head Jonathan Capehart appeared to criticize Waters on Sunday, referring to President Trump’s comments.
Recent interviews in Time Magazinespecifically the Republican Party’s indication that it would not seek a third term even if it was legally possible.
In an interview with TIME, reporter Eric Cortelessa falsely suggested that the Heritage Foundation’s Project 25 proposes repealing the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms. He also asked President Trump if he would “definitely retire after a second term or consider challenging the 22nd Amendment.”
Trump replied, “Well, I will, and I don’t really have a choice, but I will.” The Republican presidential candidate added, “I’m going to serve one term and do a great job. We’re going to have a very successful country again…and I’m going to leave.”
Clearly dissatisfied with Trump’s innocuous response, Cortelesa pursued the issue, forcing Trump to make it clear that he had no intention of challenging the 22nd Amendment.
“It’s not for me. I don’t agree with it at all. I’m going to serve four years and do a great job. And I want to take this country back. I want to get the country back on the right track. is in decline. We are a nation in turmoil right now,” President Trump said.
Imagine the meat on a bare burger
Mr. Capehart looked to Mr. Waters to revive his authoritarian aspirations, even though President Trump had effectively killed them.
“Mr. Trump said in an interview at the time that he had no intention of overturning or ignoring the Constitution’s ban on a third term,” Capehart told Waters. “Should the American people believe that? Do you believe that?”
“No, absolutely not,” Waters said. “Like I said, I don’t believe anything Donald Trump says. Donald Trump will do whatever he can get away with. He has no support for the Constitution of the United States. He’s a man we should be careful of.”
Mr. Waters explained to Mr. Capehart that he would ask the Biden Justice Department and President Biden, “What are you going to do to protect this country from violence if Mr. Biden loses?”
“I want to know about all the right-wing organizations he’s associated with, they’re training in the hills somewhere and they’re targeting which communities they’re going to attack,” the Democrat said. said. “We need to know now because he says there will be violence if he loses. We need to know what his plans are and how we will be protected.”
Capehart urged Representative Robert Garcia, also a California Democrat, to confirm that “this is not an exaggeration, this is real.”
Garcia responded to the talking head, saying, “This is dangerous. They are absolutely right in preparing to destroy our democracy, the way we conduct elections in this country, and our members.” I think…if Donald Trump is re-elected, there is no doubt that he will try to remain in office beyond his four-year term. He will destroy this country and our democracy. ”
“They’re not just planning a civil war…they’re spelling out how and what they’re going to do, how they’re going to take revenge, how they’re going to attack their enemies, all of this. ”. ”
After getting his travel companions to affirm his fantasies, Waters added, “The aligned people who are already practicing what the government will be like under Mr. Trump: align with him, follow him. We know there are people. They’re not just making plans, about civil war if you want, but how and what they’re going to do, how they’re going to take revenge. It explains in detail how to attack the enemy. ”
Waters’ apparent decision to fabricate rumors about a civil war conspiracy came just days after the Rasmussen report.
shown Based on a national telephone and online survey, 41% of likely U.S. voters believe the country will definitely experience a civil war within the next five years.
Rasmussen said discussions about the civil war had “sparked up” after the Hollywood film “Civil War” debuted at number one at the box office last month.
Waters put a damper on fears of a new civil war, adding that Trump is a “pure racist” who could attack non-white people.
Waters said at the beginning of the interview, “We’re very concerned about a former president of the United States talking about attacking his country, talking about the possibility of bloodshed, talking about the possibility of perhaps getting into trouble.” We should be concerned about this,” he said. We should take him seriously, in so many different ways. ”
Mr. Waters’ calculated use of the term “bloodshed” was a rehash of the fabricated scandal surrounding President Trump’s March 16 use of the term “bloodshed.” Meanwhile, the Biden campaign and its apparent allies CBS News, politiko, NPR, rolling stone, Los Angeles Timesand while USA Today incorrectly characterized the Republican’s comments as threatening, President Trump actually used the remarks in reference to the economic impact of jobs and the continued relocation of auto manufacturing plants overseas under the Biden administration. used.
“This man doesn’t believe in the Constitution. He wants to be a dictator. This man is dangerous. We need to know what our country is going to do to protect us from him.” added the Democratic Party.
