Fmr. RNC Chair Michael Steele warns
Former RNC Chair Michael Steele warns that Donald Trump, despite facing multiple indictments, is still a powerful political force who is actively working to disrupt American politics and institutions. Steele suggests that Trump’s legal troubles are part of a broader political strategy.
Steele points out that despite Trump’s indictments and legal challenges, he is still held in high regard by a segment of the Republican Party. People like Rep. Jim Jordan are working to defend Trump and set the stage for a potential 2024 presidential run, even as he faces severe legal repercussions.
Election boards and processes in key states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are already being manipulated to support Trump’s agenda. Steele argues that these efforts have been in the works for over two years and should not be surprising.
Steele emphasizes the need for collective awareness and action. He suggests that people need to be prepared for the “roadblocks, confusion, and chaos” that Trump and his allies are likely to create. The aim, according to Steele, is to create mass confusion so that people lose focus on Trump’s criminal activities and charges.
Democrats and those who want to save our democracy would do well to immediately and comprehensively plan to counteract Trump’s tactics. Even if Trump loses in a popular vote, the Electoral College system requires vigilance to ensure it reflects the will of the people, underscoring the need for all Americans to be politically engaged.
The warning from Michael Steele should not be taken lightly. It aligns with broader concerns that experts have raised about the erosion of democratic norms in the United States, as evidenced in articles from reputable sources like The Atlantic’s “The Trump Presidency Is Over,” and The Washington Post’s “Trump’s false election claims are a de facto litmus test’ for Republicans.” Steele’s call for proactive preparation and activism to prevent further political erosion is critical for the integrity of the democratic process.
