Begin impeachment proceedings under Article 2, Section 4. What Trump is doing meets the constitutional threshold for high crimes and misdemeanors, and every day without accountability is a day democracy erodes further.
His Mount Rushmore speech on July 4th used Red Scare rhetoric to cast political opponents as existential threats to America. That's not patriotism — that's a president using the nation's 250th birthday to intimidate anyone who doesn't fall in line. And his own words on the SAVE Act make his intentions explicit: he has said that if it passes, the far right won't lose an election for 100 years. That is not a policy argument. That is an admission of intent to rig the midterms and permanently entrench one party in power regardless of what voters actually want. Voter suppression in service of permanent rule is not governance — it's the definition of authoritarian seizure of power.
The Constitution exists for exactly this moment. I expect you to act on it.
