Ralph Nader - If there was ever a strong contemporary case for declaring that silence is complicity, consider the hush of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and even George W. Bush as they grind their teeth over the Donald Trump/Elon Musk wrecking of America. Trump is destroying freedom of speech and due process, abolishing democratic restraints, and establishing a criminal fascistic dictatorship...
Here is what prominent Democratic Presidents and Presidential candidates COULD do:
- Tens of millions of Americans voted for our past Presidents. They are waiting for their leaders to speak up, stand up, and mightily help lead the fight to stop Trump’s mayhem against the American people in red and blue states. The people want former Democratic leaders to galvanize the Democratic Party, still largely in disarray about confronting Trump.
- They
are all mega-millionaires, very capable of raising many more millions
of dollars quickly with their fame and lists of followers. They know
very rich people as friends. They could set up strike forces in
Washington and around the country to provide needed, fighting attorneys,
organizers, and other specialists to ride head-on against the proven
damage to health, safety, and economic well-being of people here and
abroad and counter Trump’s daily cruel and vicious assaults. They could
end Trump’s unrebutted soliloquy of lies and false scenarios over
mainstream and social media.
- They
could push the Democrats in Congress to hold constant “unofficial”
public hearings and file resolutions and legislation that provide the
daily evidence of this dictator and his recidivistic criminality and
push for Impeachment and Trump’s removal from office. Impossible, you
might say with the GOP in narrow control on Capitol Hill. Look back at
Nixon who for far fewer violations was told by Republican Senators that
his time was up. Politicians save their political skin in approaching
elections before rescuing an unstable, egomaniacal, vengeful politician
like the one now camped at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Trump will be soon
plunging in polls and stock market drops, inflation, recession, and more
Gestapo-like kidnappings and disappearances to foreign prisons of
targeted individuals. These conditions are not popular with the American
people.
- The
former Democratic leaders could do what Bernie Sanders is doing and
traverse the country supporting the fighting civic spirit of the
American people who oppose the painful afflictions wrought by Tyrant
Trump.
- Gore is well-credentialed to show how the actions of Hurricane Donald, Tornado Trump/Drought Donald, and Wildfire Musk’s fossil-fuel-driven greenhouse gases are leading to a climate catastrophe. The facts and trends Trump omnicidally ignores need to be front and center.
