A Raging, Fading Voice of trumpian Madness

donald trump just cannot ever admit he loses. trump had to lie about winning the Popular vote in 2016 when it was really the broken Electoral College flipping for him instead of Hillary. trump had to lie about winning anything in 2020, when both the popular and Electoral vote went for Biden: We saw where those lies led to delusion and violence on Capitol Hill.

Everything since January 6th 2021 for trump has been his repeated complaints of voter fraud, and repeated attempts to paint himself a victim of librul conspiracy: All to convince anyone else with the power to restore his "rightful" place in the White House believe his Big Lie and grant his gaslighting wish. 

It's been two years, and yet for all of trump's protestations, there's never been any proof of his claims being real. None of his lawyers won any court case that could prove vote fraud of any kind happened. The opposite's been proven - much to trump's dismay - that trump and his handlers tried to interfere with the elections, especially in Georgia where the grand jury investigation into trump's misdeeds is close to ending - with indictment recommendations - any week now.

The slow yet steady grind towards trump's legal fate must be getting on his nerves, because this weekend trump crossed yet another line in his shameless effort to bluff his way out of doom. trump's now blasting on his personal social media that he wants to demolish the Constitution because it's in his way. Joe Gandleman at The Moderate Voice has the appropriate outrage towards trump's madness:

As Georgia voters are poised to decide who fills a Senate seat in what is seen as a critical and close election, former President Donald Trump is calling for the “termination” of the Constitution and the bypassing of all laws to restore him to power or hold a new election...

This will also likely put GOPers in Congress on the spot: will they strongly reject or repudiate Trump’s call to deep six the constutiton and laws? Or will they, as usual, try not to comment, pretend they’ve got a sudden call on their cellphones, rush into restrooms, comment on how they love democracy but not mention Trump, etc.

Gandleman's anger is as much towards the Republicans who avoid any accountability for the monster they're supporting as towards the monster himself, and I don't blame him. He then shared Tweets from fellow sideline punditry, highlight the growing frustration that trump is out here threatening to take a sledgehammer to the one thing - the Constitution and the people it serves - a President is supposed to defend and uphold. There's a dozen-plus Tweets, but I would like to share this one:

Shoutout to those who called us “alarmists” for referring to Trump as an authoritarian. Here he is literally calling to suspend the Constitution, to put himself in power again. This comes after he incited a violent insurrection. We were alarmed—not alarmist—because it’s alarming. pic.twitter.com/tgrVawK6yW

donald trump is openly calling for the destruction of the entire government - spelled out by that Constitution he hopes to burn to ash - on which our nation depends as a bulwark of democracy and (admittedly) Western civilization (as well as global political/economic stability). he is basically calling for the destruction of the United States. All so he can avoid the Legal Accountability Wolves snapping at his heels.

We've been here before, by the by. Far Right Republicans have made it clear since 2014 2009 1994 1980 that if they cannot Rule they instead will Ruin. trump is simply trumpeting that message loud and clear. 

It's now a question of if the American People are hearing this message and recoiling in horror from it.
