☆ Trump is explaining exactly how wild and extreme his second term would be
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-11 | by ( Stephen Collinson | Trump S Authoritarianism May Make The Election A Profound Choice | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

“It’s really a threat to democracy while they trample our rights and liberties every single day of the year,” he said. This followed a March rally in which he billed his 2024 campaign and potential second term as a vessel of “retribution” for supporters who believe they’ve been wronged. In a recent CNN poll, for example, only 28% of Republicans thought Biden legitimately won sufficient votes to win the 2020 election. This comes after years of Trump incessantly denying he lost, and despite courts throwing out his multiple challenges to the result. “Indict my opponent, he’s doing well,” Trump said, implying that was exactly what Biden had done.
