Donald Trump believes we should terminate “all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution” to overturn the 2020 election. That was his view on 1/6 and remains his view today. No honest person can now deny that Trump is an enemy of the Constitution.

If you felt personally attacked because a man got on television and said fascism is bad, authoritarianism is bad, political violence is bad, and that we should *all* put the country over any political party, it says a whole lot more about you than the dude you’re mad at.
