Pundits, Democrats, and, finally, some Republicans are enraged over disgraced and criminal former president Donald Trump, who said he wanted to “terminate” the Constitution of the United States so he can the presidency of the United States.

“So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential election results of 2020 OUT and declare the Rightful Winner, or do you have a new election,” Trump posted. on his social media platform. “A massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great Founders did not want, and would not condone False & Fraudulent Elections!”

With his tendency to misuse the English language, the madman in Mara-a-Lago added: “UNPRECEDENTED FRAUD REQUIRES UNPRECEDENTED CURE!”

These are the words of a traitor. At the core of his statement is a threat to stage a coup to overturn the government, which is what he also tried to do on Jan. 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol, threatened the lives of members of the House and Senate and his own Vice President. People died on that day, including a Capitol Police officer.

I’m not the only one to feel that way. Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus writes:


For a change, a few Republicans got mad over Trump’s comments.

“Well, obviously I don’t support that,” Representative-elect Mike Lawler, a Republican who unseated Representative Sean Patrick Maloney in a suburban New York district, said on Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The Constitution is set for a reason, to protect the rights of every American.”

Marc Short, former chief of staff for Mike Pence, Trump’s vice president. said the former president’s “remarks, the company he’s keeping, I think is way beyond the fold.”

In the New York Times. columnist Maggie Astor writes:


At the White House, a prepared statement from spokesman Andrew Bates said: “Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation and should be universally condemned.”

Jennifer Rubin notes in the Post:


Amen.

IN a strange turn of events Keri (They stole the election) Lake and Rep (White Supremacist) Gosar, both agree with Trump, the Constitution of the US should be used as toilet paper. In addition, many elected Republicans did the Potomac two step about whether they agreed with Trump.

With such an insidious sickness amongst Americans, it begs the question whether Democracy can survive?

"It is a sign of the speed at which events are moving that Hurst and Blackett's unexpurgated edition of ‘Mein Kampf’, published only a year ago, is edited from a pro-Hitler angle. The obvious intention of the translator's preface and notes is to tone down the book’s ferocity and present Hitler in as kindly a light as possible.

For at that date Hitler was still respectable. He had crushed the German labour movement, and for that the property-owning classes were willing to forgive him almost anything. Both Left and Right concurred in the very shallow notion that National Socialism was merely a version of Conservatism.
Then suddenly it turned out that Hitler was not respectable after all".
