How Will America Deal with The Next GOP Wannabee Dictator?
If the DOJ and Congress don't prosecute Trump and change our laws, the next Republican to occupy the White House will probably also try to end our democracy

Precedent sounds boring and wonky. In reality, its the way past criminal Republican presidents have taught those who followed them to break the law.
This is the shocking story of how Republican presidents taught each other to break the law, and how if Trump isn't prosecuted the next Republican president will try to end democracy in the USA.
Trump has broken multiple past presidential precedents and established entirely new ones that unless theyre punished and outlawed provide a template for the next Republican president who wants to turn America into a strongman oligarchy like Hungary or Turkey.
And given the rhetoric coming out of the GOPs front-runners for 2024, we should be seriously concerned about that as a future

Since the Nixon precedents were set, criminality and a flagrant disregard for democratic norms have run like an underground river through the GOP, and have now flowed from federal to state Republican politicians as well.
As youre reading these words, Republicans are preparing to openly steal elections in more than a dozen states and fifty corrupt Republicans in the US Senate just helped them in their effort.
