We're still 10-1/2 months away from the 2024 presidential election, yet Donald Trump's most mentally unstable fervent detractors are hellbent on ginning up kooky, unhinged scenarios of what a second Trump term would look like.
I've said it multiple times, but it bears repeating: Joe Biden is perhaps the most vulnerable Democrat POTUS candidate in a head-to-head matchup against Trump. So if indeed Trump is this grand threat to our Republic, there should be more stringent calls for Biden to not seek reelection. Yeah, I know demanding an incumbent President to step aside is not within the normal realm of our political system. But, again, we're continually told Trump is uniquely dangerous, so shouldn't we obliterate any and all norms here? Eh. I'm guessing it makes for more compelling television to engage in hyperbole with the assumption that the voting public doesn't understand how our representative republic is structured to prevent such scenarios which they breathlessly conveyed.
The uncomfortable truth these talking heads don't want to acknowledge? The lack of a functional and independent media is a far greater threat to democracy than another Trump presidential term.
