The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win. They don’t need to surrender their journalistic independence to do so or be “in the tank” for Biden or anyone else.
It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.
Are you serious? Deploying the military to put down dissent is his strategy to deal with that. And we’ve seen it happen around the world. If the military gets involved in politics at home, it’s bad news for everyone.
