I hope that, belatedly, news organizations are finally learning how to cover the clear and present danger a second Trump term would pose to the world. These are gift articles from The Washington Post and The NY Times. They are pieces based on reporting (as opposed to opinion or speculation pieces).

“Trump plans to claim sweeping powers to cancel federal spending”

“If Trump Wins”

“Donald Trump and his closest allies are preparing a radical reshaping of American government if he regains the White House.”

How about we quit spilling ink on dystopian worlds "if Trump wins" and start writing about the good that can happen if and a big win?

Think of 20-21 (Inflation reduction act, Infrastructure, judges, real House investigations) but even better!

Absolutely. The psychic damage that Trump has wrought is profound. By taking about the dystopian future all the time we fuel the terror. But, the reality is we will not let that happen. This is a moment of great opportunity. The GOP has overplayed their hand with this crazy dictator nonsense, and we have a golden opportunity to not only elect Biden, but to give him solid majorities in the House and Senate, and usher in a truly progressive future.

💯

The threat is real. But we don't have to live in fear.

Exactly. It is an existential threat, but it is also a great opportunity.
