Final Thoughts
NEW YORK NIGHTS
Lately we hear a lot about Donald J. Trump’s admiration for Adolph Hitler. Well, Hitler was elected in 1933, after a campaign of violence against his opponents and two weeks later he passed the Enabling Act, making him dictator. That was the last contested election in a unified Germany for 67 years
Those who won’t vote for Kamala Harris because of Gaza or because they believe the Right’s lies about the economy and the “threat” of immigration should realize that these are policies that can be discussed and changed. Meanwhile, electing a dictator can be forever!
In our country’s 248 years, 1.1 million have died defending America’s democracy. “Suckers and losers”, Donald J. Trump has called them. Now, thanks to Trump, his MAGA thugs, his spineless Republican colleagues and his fraudulent Supreme Court majority, our democracy hangs by a thread. We need to come out this November and sweep Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and Democrat down ballot candidates into power, with strong enough numbers to blunt Trump’s inevitable phony claims of fraud. If we fail to do so, we will only have ourselves to blame, as we watch Trump, then JD Vance march America into Fascism.
