Maddow made another good point last night, regarding the upcoming 2024 election. She said it’s shaping up to be a referendum on choosing between indicted felon Trump and the rule of law.
What’s it gonna be, America? It could be this stark choice facing us next year. And if it actually does pan out that way, will we go the way of Turkey and Hungary and Russia—and now maybe even Israel—or will we finally put the final nail in Trump’s political coffin?
A predilection for autocracy may be on the rise, but so is a predilection for resistance, as Maddow notes. The resistance will need to be strong and relentless, because religious conservatism and white paranoia seem to be running on all cylinders right now.
