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.
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.
They just need a particularly ragebait-y conclusion to latch on to. Like the fact that the Constitution he wants to 'terminate' also includes all the amendments.
Including the second amendment.
The one that's misquoted constantly by republican gun nuts.
The title nearly writes itself. "Trump wants to take away your Second Amendment gun rights!"
He has literally talked about bypassing the 2nd Amendment.
Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but** take the guns first, go through due process second**. - Donald Trump
This is an actual quote from a White House meeting discussing the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
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?
