Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said the reelection of former President Trump would be the “end of democracy” in an interview released Saturday by The Guardian.
“It will be the end of democracy, functional democracy,” Sanders said in the interview.
The Vermont senator also said in the interview that he thinks that another round of Trump as the president will be a lot more extreme than the first.
“He’s made that clear,” Sanders said. “There’s a lot of personal bitterness, he’s a bitter man, having gone through four indictments, humiliated, he’s going to take it out on his enemies. We’ve got to explain to the American people what that means to them — what the collapse of American democracy will mean to all of us.”
Sanders’s words echo those President Biden made in a recent campaign speech during which he said that Trump’s return to the presidency would risk American democracy. The president highlighted the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol in an attempt to cement a point about Trump and other Republicans espousing a kind of extremism that was seen by the world on that day.
Not exactly a hard choice. Either vote for fascism, or dont. Given the choice, which we still have, I think I’ll vote against fascism, thanks. Unless you would like to give us an amazing third choice in this situation?
Fascism popular definition is state and private companies working together to oppress peoples will. Ok, so who is using cia, fbi, doj, to persecute their political rival? Twitter files, anyone? Fb, google, legacy media all in bed with fascism too. Fascism entered the chat long ago, just not on the side you expected, therefore are still oblivious to it…
Oh, how dare they use legal mechanisms to try to prosecute a person who participated in insurrection against the United States? And yes, Facebook is a shining example of collusion with the radical leftists. As we all know, they have never helped our glorious leader Tonald Drump gain power.
