Trump

The news often says there is a threat to democracy and that is correct and it started with the run up to the 2016 election. First off the FBI used false information to get warrants from the FISA court to spy on the Trump campaign and later after his election. This led to the investigation claiming Trump colluded with Russia to win the election and resulted in the December 2019 impeachment. Going into the 2020 Trump reelection campaign the Hunter Biden tapes were covered up by the FBI and they put pressure on social media to ban the story. Trump lost the election and after the loss the house impeached him for the second time after he was out of office what some called justice and others called revenge. Coming into the 2024 election Trump is charged with four criminal cases and three states have threatened to remove his name from the ballot. The thrust of the current campaign is that Trump is a threat to democracy. This is necessary because the old question are you better off today than you were four years ago must be avoided. Under Trump the country was energy independent, with a secure border, inflation under two percent, low crime and no wars. Since the discussion of policy is off the table the only thing left is to assassinate Trumps character and that is the strategy being used.
