Authoritarianism is here and for a party that likes to get all upset and angry and when anybody calls them fascist or authoritarian, they sure do a whole lot of fascist and authoritarian things.

And it's undeniable when you look at what Trump is doing that that's exactly what this is.

I mean this is completely un-American.

Nobody who is intellectually honest or trying to be intellectually honest could possibly defend this.

It's a very, very dark day in the United States.

It's been a dark few months here, at least in the United States.

And I know I already see all the MAGA people.

They have their talking points.

They go crazy.

You said, oh, but the Biden weaponization, shut up.

Biden didn't weaponize crap.

If anything, maybe Biden could have even done more to convince people to pursue these charges to protect the country.

But there was a clear separation.

Those were cases that were filed by special prosecutors, by state prosecutors.

They were filed because Donald Trump actually committed crimes and he did an insurrection against the United States.

The cases that were able to actually go to court

Overall, Donald Trump lost all of them because he actually did those various things, including the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, that $500 million civil fraud case, which is the reason why Trump is now doing this act of retribution.

I mean, these are clear differences.

And what Donald Trump is doing—

here in our streets, what he's doing internationally.
