Former Trump White House insiders call possible 2nd term a threat to American democracy

Three women who served in former President Donald Trump's White House are now warning against a possible second Trump term, with one of them saying it could mean "the end of American democracy as we know it."

For the first time, former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews, and former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson sat down together with ABC News "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl to discuss their roles in speaking out against Trump in the wake of Jan. 6.

"Fundamentally, a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it, and I don't say that lightly," Griffin, now a co-host of ABC's "The View," told Karl, accusing the former president of having gone to "historic and unconstitutional lengths" in attempting to "steal a democratic election" and to stay in power.

"I'm very concerned about what the term would actually look like," Griffin continued.

Isn’t it amazing the opinion that money, blackmail, or threats can buy? Or, were these people leftist “plants” from the beginning?

The left and never-Trumper’s narrative that the former President will “destroy democracy” is all based upon the chaos caused by them and their supportive media. They cause the chaos and then point to it and exclaim “See what happened while Trump was President?!! It will be worse next time around! We will make sure of it!”

The Sunday morning shows will only put on GOP traitors. Then they will say they go out of their way to make sure they get people from both party’s on the shows. Rat propaganda week after week.

Why has such a thing never happened before? Is this an example of Trump’s amazing hiring skills?

Unfortunately, he was talked into including a bunch of disloyal backstabbers into his Administration.

That's the point. "Democracy" as we know it has somehow become communism.

It’s funny how they all parrot the term threat to democracy but no one ever mentions exactly how.

The threat to our Republic is

The unsustainable national debt
Failure of citizens to live within their means
Loss of a work ethic
Inflation
Illegal immigration
Crime
Failure to enforce the law
Lack of morals

I am sure there are others

Just a word about “democracy”, that evil from the pits of Hell.

“Democracy” was just a small dark cloud on the horizon in 1776, but by the Philadelphia convention, developments in France had moved the issue to the front burner.

If the Confederation had lasted to, say, 1800, we might have avoided democracy altogether, but our Founders were wise enough to provide as many walls to keep democracy away as they could - the Senate, the Electoral College, life tenure for judges, supermajorities for treaties and amendments, State Legislatures responsible for (indirectly) appointing new Presidents, etc.

The democratizers have been attacking the walls since the 1800s, but it’s only since the 1960s that we have functional democracy even when it’s unconstitutional.

So, whenever any politician uses the expression “Our Democracy™”, understand that what he is worried about being destroyed is an absolute evil, whose destruction cannot come too soon.

I agree with those ‘staffers’, President Trump is a threat to their “American democracy”. HE is trying to save the American Republic.

Why don’t SOO RIN KIM and QUINN SCANLAN do a story on people associated with the Biden Administration is ‘have tales to tell’. Why - because the biased ‘press’ is owned lock stock and barrel by DC’s thugs, goons, cartels and commie filth. Without the above - no leaks from intelligence and jobs get lost...
