Could the United States already be seeing a second insurrection much like the one that took place on January 6, 2021?
That’s the contention of MSNBC host Chris Hayes, who noted on his show Friday evening that he fears that former president Donald Trump “is very clearly planning to run the same playbook from last time.”
“We are watching a slow-motion insurrection,” Hayes said. “In these final weeks of the campaign, Trump and his allies are laying all the groundwork, getting ready to reject the free and fair result of this election if he does not win, that’s plain as day – we all know it.”
Hayes then played a video of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) steadfastly refusing to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
“Today J.D. Vance said he would help his running mate in another coup attempt after refusing to acknowledge that Trump lost in 2020, over and over again,” Hayes added. “The 2020 lie is about protecting Donald Trump’s fragile ego.”
“But also, more seriously, we have to take J.D. Vance and Donald Trump seriously. Every day they are telling us how they are approaching this. They are openly plotting to steal this election because while we may be used to the lies and anti-democratic rhetoric, we are headed to a very dangerous and precarious moment.”
The United States is at an inflection point in its history. We will either reject the lies and violence of Republicans or slide further into autocracy and fascism. If the latter happens, this nation is doomed.
