Fearing the 2024 Election, the Left Rushes To Declare Trump a Dictator – The Messenger

The unintentional comedy rose to new heights this week, after The Atlantic dedicated its entire Janurary/February edition to explaining how and why Trump will destroy democracy if he wins a second term. It has 24 writers penning 24 perspectives on the same narrative described as “the grave and extreme consequences if former President Trump were to win in 2024.” 

Included in the warning was how journalism will struggle under Trump, who was only the most press-accessible president in modern history during his last term. He held 35 solo press conferences during his final year in office. (How many has Joe Biden held this year? Three.) As for journalism floundering under a second coming of Trump, poll after poll shows the industry is floundering quite well on its own during the Biden era, with trust at an all-time low, even among Democrats. 

Not to be outdone, the New York Times, which hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since 1956, went into a veritable panic on Monday in an extensive piece warning of Trump using the Department of Justice to investigate his political opponents. If this sounds strangely familiar, perhaps that’s because that’s exactly what’s happening now, with Trump facing 91 felony counts and four different state and federal trials set to begin before Election Day in 2024. Here s the ironic part: The more Trump appears in a courtroom, the more his numbers go up because sane, sober folks know political persecution and election interference when they see it. 

But didn’t the Founding Fathers think all this through to ensure checks and balances exist so we don’t have dictators running the country? Under Trump the Sequel, won’t there still be different branches of government and separation of powers a Congress, a Supreme Court? And didn’t President Biden sign more executive orders and actions (106) in his first 100 days than did Trump, Barack Obama or George W. Bush? Where were the dictator warnings then?

Joe Concha.

Seems true.
