Trump Threatens Violence Against Political 'Enemies' If He Regains Power, Sparking Fears of Democratic Backsliding

  • Trump is threatening fascist violence against Biden and other "enemies" if he regains power, wanting to treat them like in a "banana republic".

  • Trump's threats align with his lack of empathy and psychopathic tendencies. His supporters wish for a strongman hero and are vulnerable to the "Big Lie".

  • The media continues to dangerously ignore and normalize Trump's violent rhetoric. His threats have consequences in inciting violence.

  • Trump uses war rhetoric and fascist strategies against his own nation to turn politics into warfare and frighten the public into allowing his control.

  • Republican leaders must vocally turn against Trump's anti-democratic threats before it's too late. His rage has sparked an anti-democratic wildfire that will burn democracy down if not repudiated.
