dictatorship

As I mentioned in the introduction to this series of articles, I predicted that Donald Trump would be an existential threat to our democracy--and I made that prediction roughly two weeks before the 2016 election.

The previous articles in this series have set the stage for my new prediction: If Trump is elected in 2024, we will see at least one—and very possibly more—Tiananmen Square-style massacres on U.S. soil.

I argued in my last column that Project 2025 will enable Donald Trump to wield great power. But Trump is running on two agendas that could expand his power exponentially. And whether intended or not, minorities will suffer the most as Trump solidifies his dictatorship.

Trump's two dangerous agendas involve a declaration of war against Mexican drug cartels to counter the fentanyl epidemic and a program that will deport suspected members of drug cartels without due process and that will require building massive detention camps to hold undocumented immigrants for deportation.
