And he was just getting started…
“Why, at this moment, are we doing town meetings around the country – especially in conservative areas? The answer is obvious,” Sanders wrote in an op-ed for The Guardian. “Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the DC beltway.”
Putting his money where his mouth is, Bernie will be hosting events in Nebraska and Iowa during which he plans to speak with Americans who are brave enough to say “not to authoritarianism” and Trump’s destructive cuts to the federal government.
“Can Trumpism be defeated? Absolutely! But, if we’re going to make that happen, we need to know exactly what we’re up against and how we can best go forward,” he wrote.
Bernie also drew attention to Trump’s crony relationship with fascist tech billionaire Elon Musk as well as DOGE’s efforts to gut federal spending — which will in turn pave the way for more tax cuts for the super rich.
“Trumpism does not believe in democracy or the rule of law. Trump recently posted: ‘He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,’” wrote Sanders. “In other words, Trump believes that he can do anything he wants for any reason. He can ignore Congress or the courts. He is above the law.”
“Our struggle, the American people’s struggle, is to protect democracy and the rule of law. Equally important, we must end oligarchy and create an economy that works for all, not just a few,” he continued.
At a time when many Americans are feeling beaten down and dispirited by Trump’s blatant authoritarianism, Bernie is sending up a rallying cry—
“This is a perilous moment in American history. Let us go forward together,” he wrote.
