The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

    Those points are only alarming to intelligent, sane people. The problem is there’s a cult of unintelligent, insane people in this country.

      If the media focused on just this narrative half as much as the focus on Biden’s age, which is an issue, it might actually reach enough ears enough times that the not lost people might be swayed. There aren’t enough people and headlines referencing Trump’s felonies, rapes, and views to dictate. I saw a few headlines when it was said, and people just said, “same old Trump”. More people need to start speaking about it in the media as a serious matter. And literally continually refer to him as a rapist felon.

            Oh, you’ve politically purged those in your circle so thoroughly that you can guarantee your mail carriers will vote the same way you do? That’s…impressive. Or creepy. Not sure which, or if you’re contacting from the future after the other party has been banned and we are effectively a one party system?
