The people still hold the cards here.
But I worry that our leaders and our citizens just compartmentalize each day.
Yesterday's assault on democracy is forgotten as we awake to a new outrage.
So I want to spend just a few minutes spelling out for you Trump's detailed plan to end our democracy so that you see how grave this moment is.
Step one.
convert the judiciary to a political witch hunt operation.
Every dictator needs to use the legal system to punish dissent from political opponents and reward illegality from loyalists.
That is what's happening here at scale at the Department of Justice.
January 6th, rioters pardoned.
New York Mayor Adams given immunity for corruption after he pledges allegiance to Trump.
Comey indicted, charges being readied against Schiff and James and Soros.
The purpose here isn't to lock up every single one of Trump's political opponents.
It's to scare people into silence.
And there's just no doubt that it's working.
There are people who are choosing to stay on the sidelines or to not tell the truth about Trump because they don't want to end up in his legal crosshairs.
Step two, build a state-run media.
To end democracy, you just can't have a free press.
And so Trump, with help from his allied billionaires, is creating a network of media properties that will spread Trump's story and suppress criticism.
Right now, he's using the FCC to bully TV stations into dropping shows that are critical of Trump.
I've been very clear.
