Trump Is Threatening the Very Things that Saved Democracy in the 1940s

My friends, if democracy has faced a comparable challenge, it was in 1940, after France had fallen.

Americans gathered around their radios in fear as they learned the terrible news.

Paris fell on May 14. A puppet government was installed and a negotiated surrender to NAZI power was in the works. In England, the government of Neville Chamberlain collapsed, and Winston Churchill became Prime Minister. He told the country that the battle of France was over, and the battle of Britain had begun.

We are in that moment.

Sorry that is weak sauce. Do good things in the face of tyranny. He's implying nothing can be done so just wait out the poison.

We have no leaders. We have no control other than some state governments. The majority is seeking to stomp us out. Our courts are compromised or in fear.
