For anyone with remaining doubts, Trump and his legislative and judicial allies have produced a clear record portending what a second Trump term would look like. Envision the following.
We will be subject to the law but President Trump won't.
Our society will become less civil as lies, bullying, and verbal attacks become normalized.
The government will insert itself into our doctors' offices, our bedrooms, and even tell us who we are permitted to be.
Restrictions on the rights of gender, racial and religious minorities will increase.
Banning books and rewriting history will become woven into our educational systems.
Our children will continue to go to school fearful of being in the next mass shooting.
Women, including underage girls, will have to give birth to the babies of their rapist.
Any attempts to address environmental degradation and climate change will be torpedoed.
Undesired public protest will be confronted by the might of the U.S. military.
Restrictive voting law changes will permit Trump's GOP to ultimately control who wins elections.
Finally, democracy will decline, both here in America and in democracies across the world as America ghosts them.
If this future looks alarming, no matter your political preference, we do have an alternative. We can vote to save our country by voting Blue up and down the ticket this fall. If we don't, and Trump and Trump Republicans win, we can say goodbye to our democracy and the freedoms it provides for, including a vote that will actually matter.
