Will Trump Stop Us From Voting in November?
![Thom plus logo](https://cdn3.thomhartmann.com/sites/default/files/thom%20and%20logo_13.jpg) Today is the anniversary of the Chinese government crushing popular dissent at Tiananmen Square. This anniversary is happening in the midst of a week in which the President of the United States has militarized Washington DC and is calling for the crushing of dissent here in the United States. This must be a wake up call to all Americans. Fox News and Senator Tom Cotton are openly promoting fascism in the United States and, while there are a few dissenting voices, the White House, Republicans in the United States Senate, and "Conservative" judges in the federal judiciary all seem to have no problem with this. America has arrived at a crisis point, and the next six months will determine whether our democratic republic survives or goes the way of so many other authoritarian regimes in recent years, a frightening echo of early 20th century Europe. Will our votes be counted this fall, or will Trump succeed in crushing democracy? -Thom

Tweet: " If you watch Fake News @CNN or MSDNC, you would think that the killers, terrorists, arsonists, anarchists, thugs, hoodlums, looters, ANTIFA & others, would be the nicest, kindest most wonderful people in the Whole Wide World. No, they are what they are - very bad for our Country!" by Donald J. Trump.
Quote: " We do not need to militarize our response to protests. We need to unite around a common purpose. And it starts by guaranteeing that all of us are equal before the law." - James Madison.
Tweet: " A thread on why I'm so concerned about Bureau of Prisons Correctional Officers being sent to do public policing in DC and other cities. I've spent a career litigating prisoner rights. The contours of Constitutional rights are very different in prison than in the outside." by Deborah Golden.
Tweet: " We cannot tolerate an American secret police. I will be introducing legislation to require uniformed federal officers performing any domestic security duties to clearly identify what military branch or agency they represent." by Chris Murphy.
Quote: " This is an awful man, waving a book he hasn't read, in front of a church he doesn't attend, invoking laws he doesn't understand, against fellow Americans he sees as enemies, wielding a military he dodged serving, to protect power he gained via accepting foreign interference, exploiting fear and anger he loves to stoke, after failing to address a pandemic he was warned about, and building it all on a bed of constant lies and childish inanity." - Robert Hendrickson, Rector, Saint Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church.
Article: " 13th Amendment", December 6, 1865. " Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Tweet: " 1/2 This is my friend Armin Lehman (& our friend Jodi); he was the courier who delivered the news to Hitler that all was lost & was there when Hitler died. He told me that Hitler wanted to take Germany down with him; destroy everyone. Cornered rats are the most dangerous." by Thom Hartmann.
Tweet: " 2/2 Armin passed away a few years ago; I helped him get his book done and published. I fear that we're looking right now at another megalomaniac psychopath who may take his country down if he is defeated. Mattis' letter particularly alarms me. https://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-Bunker-Soldiers-Eyewitness-Account/dp/1592285783/" by Thom Hartmann.
