“Angry, ruthless, unhinged mob”—is the Donald Trump campaign pitch against the Democrats, as the 2018 Midterm election campaign comes down to its last two weeks.
Promoting hysteria, hyperbole, and advocacy of violence are the tactics, something never utilized before in the entirety of American history.
Other Presidents campaigned in midterm elections in harsh terms, such as Andrew Johnson in 1866, and Richard Nixon in 1970, but never on the scale or recklessness of Donald Trump.
A President such as Harry Truman, in his reelection campaign in 1948, gave the Republican opposition “hell”, but never on a level anything near what Donald Trump has done.
He has aroused his crowds with fear, trepidation, and encouraged violence as in Montana, all signs of Fascist authoritarianism.
He has made these midterm elections all about him, so he must be answered by the voters or else doom is ahead!
This election in 16 days MUST repudiate Trumpism, or else the Republic is in dire danger, clear and simple!
This is not the time or place to be lazy or disinterested about politics, as we are in greater danger than we have ever been, worse than the Great Depression, World War II, or September 11!
In those moments of crisis, we had Franklin D. Roosevelt and George W. Bush, a strange pairing it might seem, but both committed to the protection of the nation, as compared to the clear aggrandizement of power and egotism of Donald Trump, who does not respect the Constitution.
Dancing With The Stars comes on our local ABC station, which is owned by Sinclair. During commercial break tonight, Sinclair ran an ad about voting Republican, smearing Democrats as “evil socialists”. Buckle up, folks! It’s going to get nasty between now and Election Day!
This is that ad. It’s a pro-Trump super PAC. It’s on multiple TV channels. Even saw it on MSNBC.

He’s got a rally in Wisconsin tonight. Should be interesting to see what he does after what happened today.
After his fake appeal to unity, Trump ran off to his rally and blamed the media and he’s continuing his attacks on the media this morning on Twitter.
