Trust The Democratic Process Or Not? by Art Smukler, MD, author & psychiatrist

On Feb. 8, 2024 the US Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding whether Donald Trump is an insurrectionist. According to the 14th amendment, if he tried to overturn the government he’s not eligible to run for president.

Pardon my language, but WTF! We all saw and heard him! He absolutely attempted to overturn the government. Hundreds of his obsessed followers who stormed the capital have been convicted. Many are in prison. If this greedy narcissist is elected can you imagine the chaos he’ll create? I can. It sickens me that so many of his followers love him. I get it that he’s accomplished a lot for the Republican right – anti-abortion, pro-guns, devaluing immigrants, Netanyahu supporter etc.– but how can any rational person vote for this immature, self-serving liar? The only time this billionaire gave to charity was to buy a picture of himself!

If Trump is elected president he promised to punish anyone who didn’t kiss his ring!

Just a handful of Republican senators and representatives stand against him.

So what’s left? A right-leaning Supreme Court… Will they do what’s right and logical and legal or support a dictator wannabe?

I promised myself that I’d stay away from Trump-bashing, but I can’t help it. To have a dictator as president is more than nauseating, it’s a catastrophe..
