Are You the Enemy from Within?

In perhaps his most direct threat yet, Donald Trump said on Fox News last week that the U.S. military should be used on Election Day to handle what he called “the enemy from within,” whom he identified as “radical left lunatics.”

Trump said America is filled with "some very bad people...radical left lunatics," and his threat to use the military against American citizens who oppose him is dangerous and should not be ignored.

Don't simply dismiss those threats as "oh, that's just Trump talking," because he generally follows through and does what he says. And then, there is his former National Security advisor, Michael Flynn, who is a QAnon kook and says "the gates of hell will be unleashed" against Trump enemies if he wins the election.

The only way to prevent all of this is to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on Election Day (or before, if you have early voting in your state).

Do it!

Meanwhile, let's keep the conversation going. What are your thoughts on the issues discussed in this commentary? I’d love to hear your opinions in the comments.
