Donald Trump is amplifying a menacing political threat, asserting he could use presidential power to suppress dissenters, framing Democrats as an internal enemy.
In a Fox News interview, Trump suggested that Democrats would incite chaos on Election Day, leading to potential National Guard intervention to maintain order.
Historically, no presidential candidate has explicitly proposed military action against opponents. This rhetoric marks a dangerous precedent in American politics.
Adam Liptak highlighted that if a tight presidential race arises along with legal voting challenges, the Supreme Court could intervene, resembling the 2000 Bush v. Gore situation.
