Donald Trump, who’s spent years now whining about the “weaponization of government,” has never been shy about his intention to wield his incoming power with a dictatorial flair.
He’s brazenly itted his plan to prosecute his political enemies, to change laws so they favor him and the blisteringly wealthy cronies who prop him up, and for once, he’s not lying. There’s not a doubt in reasonable Americans’ minds that Trump will weaponize the government to the absolute limits of his power, and then expand his power so that he can weaponize it further. Anything to give the bloated bigot more strength, more money, more influence, and more toadies to pin the blame on when the bill comes due.
The ladies of Joe Biden as he eyes his final months in office. Once Biden is out and Trump is in, a target will instantly fall on a number of notoriously unpopular Democratic figures, and Biden’s own son is at the top of the list.
“Dear @JoeBiden, pardon Hunter before these clowns go after him to take revenge on you,” Navarro-Cardenas wrote, before adding that Biden should also consider “pre-emptive pardons” for a range of other Democratic figures, including “Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Jack Smith…and anybody else who may be on the enemies list of the promised retribution.”
That “promised retribution” is likely to reach far and wide, and may even affect politicians who’ve since stepped back from the arena. Figures like Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama, and Biden himself are additionally at risk if Trump gets revenge-happy, as commenter @JoJoFromJerz aptly pointed out.
Navarro-Cardenas’s tweet quickly prompted pushback from right-leaning s, who slyly pondered why Democratic figures would require preemptive pardons if they’ve done nothing wrong. That question is easily answered by a simple examination of Trump’s own promises, which he’s been laying down for months, but we can’t expect his own ers to know that. Why would they listen to the man they elected when he tells them exactly what he intends to do?
Trump has already outlined that his second term will be one of revenge, and face the wrath of a spoiled rotten toddler who was just handed a president’s power.
That’s the future we’re marching toward, one depressing day at a time, and Navarro-Cardenas’ warning speaks to a fear felt by many Americans. We don’t know exactly what to expect from a second Trump term, but we do know one thing — he’s already told us at least some of his plans for our country, and we’d be fools not to listen.
