This concerns me deeply. Perhaps you’ve all pondered this question silently, but I must ask: Where are the former leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties in response to the alarming declarations made by the former president, suggesting dictatorial intentions and a disregard for the Constitution? Why aren’t they taking a prominent stand?
The Obamas, Clintons, and even George W. Bush should be actively rallying citizens to oppose this dangerous rhetoric. Why is it only Liz Cheney, Chris Christie, and Mitt Romney sounding the alarm, often during book tours? Why aren’t our former leaders publicly supporting President Biden and Vice President Harris?
I must admit my disappointment. They may have left office, but we should not be left to face this challenge alone.
Critics may argue, “It’s still far off.” But no, it isn’t. We cannot afford to wait until August or September to counter this dangerous rhetoric and mobilize the people.
Feel free to criticize me, but safeguarding our democracy demands the active involvement of prominent leaders who can confront this growing threat. The specter of retribution is looming, and we must act swiftly.
