As the US prepares for Election Day, the consequences of the vote are drawing nigh. The election results, however they are reported and certified (certification itself looms in the days following the election), the nation will no longer be the same on November 6th… It is time to ask what is truly on the ballot. Your vote counts, your vote matters. Vote.
It’s time to consider what is at stake in this historic election. Strategic Demands has reached out for visual aids to accompanying the approaching and proverbial ‘fork in the road’.
Let’s start with this past week and a word — fascist — that is now found a place in the headlines of the presidential campaign. Is Donald Trump a threat to democracy? Many ex-aides of President Trump and former generals during the Trump years in office seem to think so.
Trump’s chief-of-staff, John Kelly, went on the record this past week and presidential candidate Kamala Harris begin to quote Kelly’s warnings…
“Trump does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution. He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally. One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”
Headlines brought General Kelly’s warnings into focus:
