The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.
“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.
If the media focused on just this narrative half as much as the focus on Biden’s age, which is an issue, it might actually reach enough ears enough times that the not lost people might be swayed. There aren’t enough people and headlines referencing Trump’s felonies, rapes, and views to dictate. I saw a few headlines when it was said, and people just said, “same old Trump”. More people need to start speaking about it in the media as a serious matter. And literally continually refer to him as a rapist felon.
They just need a particularly ragebait-y conclusion to latch on to. Like the fact that the Constitution he wants to ‘terminate’ also includes all the amendments.
Including the second amendment.
The one that’s misquoted constantly by republican gun nuts.
The title nearly writes itself. “Trump wants to take away your Second Amendment gun rights!”
He has literally talked about bypassing the 2nd Amendment.
This is an actual quote from a White House meeting discussing the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
