Steve Schmidt Goes Viral After His (Scary) Warning About Trump, ‘Trump and His Movement are a CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER’
Some of us have serious doubts that Trump will run in 2024. He is not getting younger, his support is trickling down, and there are some serious criminal issues right on the horizon. It may be tough.
He may also be terrified of losing.
But some people with, admittedly, more experience in politics than us, say it will happen and it will be as dangerous as ever. We don’t doubt that it would be exceedingly dangerous were it to happen. According to Steven Schmidt:
“Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee in 2024. The 2022 and 2024 elections will decide if democracy survives in this country. It is as simple as that. Donald Trump repeatedly asked advisors to cancel the 2020 election because of Covid. He wanted the US military to open fire against peaceful protesters. He is profoundly dangerous. His movement is profoundly dangerous.”
We certainly do not doubt that 2022 and 2024 are putting democracy on the line or that Trump is profoundly dangerous. Additionally, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are doing all they can to ensure that Republicans are ushered into office in 2022.

Schmidt goes on:
“They have become faithless to the Republic. They have chosen power over patriotism and in doing so have desecrated the sacrifice of every American Patriot who has ever fought to preserve and expand liberty. Delusions around who these people are and what they will do if they take political power in this country again are just as crazy, and maybe more so, than the worst of the anti vaccine insanity.”
NO one is under any illusions regarding the Republican resentment of democracy. We saw it played out in real-time when McConnell and McCarthy rejected a bipartisan investigation into January 6th. January 6th itself was an attack on democracy and so is every single day that Trump says he won the election, which is every day.
